Any device which senses information such as shape, texture, softness, temperature,
vibration or shear and normal forces, by physical contact or touch, can be termed a tactile …

Scientific studies have been conducted to quantify attributes that may be important in the
creation of more functional and comfortable lower-limb prostheses. The prosthesis socket, a …

We present a bitmap printing method and digital workflow using multi-material high
resolution Additive Manufacturing (AM). Material composition is defined based on voxel …

The care and rehabilitation of individuals after lower limb amputation presents a substantial
and growing socioeconomic challenge. Clinical outcome is closely linked to successful …

The effects of inertial loads on the interface stresses between trans-tibial residual limb and
prosthetic socket were investigated. The motion of the limb and prosthesis was monitored …

An ultrasound indentation system with a pen-size hand-held probe was developed and used
to obtain the effective Young's moduli of forearm and lower limb soft tissues in 12 subjects …

Over the last decade, numerous experimental and numerical analyses have been
conducted to investigate the stress distribution between the residual limb and prosthetic …

Compressive stiffness (CS) of different supporting materials used in prosthetics and orthotics
and their static coefficients of friction (COF) with skin and socks were characterized …

Finite element method has been identified as a useful tool to understand the load transfer
mechanics between a residual limb and its prosthetic socket. This paper proposed a new …

Most trans-tibial amputation (TTA) patients use a prosthesis to retain upright mobility
capabilities. Unfortunately, interaction between the residual limb and the prosthetic socket …
