A few years ago, powered prostheses triggered new technological advances in diverse
areas such as mobility, comfort, and design, which have been essential to improving the …

Transfemoral amputees demand a mechatronic lower limb prosthesis as technical substitute
for restoring their gait functions. Prosthetic knee is the key component of a transfemoral …

BACKGROUND: The exoskeleton for lower limb rehabilitation is an uprising field of robot
technology. However, since it is difficult to achieve all the optimal design values at the same …

Featured Application Development of novel microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee.
Abstract The key technology of the prosthetic knee is to simulate the torque and angle of the …

BACKGROUND: The microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees have been introduced to
transfemoral amputees due to advances in biomedical engineering. A body of scientific …

BACKGROUND: The limited number of hip prostheses users makes it less feasible to
conduct amputee tests for prosthesis development in the clinic, which restricts the …

A little volume of lower extremity amputees needs hip disarticulation prostheses (HDPs).
This situation makes it hard to invite hip amputees for prostheses test. The traditional …

It is necessary to develop an effective knee prosthesis to recover the lost mobility of
amputees. Variable-damping knee prostheses utilizing hydraulic dampers offer several …

Lower limb amputation not only reduces mobility but also results in significant impairment in
quality of life. Microprocessor based transfemoral knee joints have gained significant …

BACKGROUND: Due to low friction, passive mechanical prostheses move compliantly
followed by the stump and are used widely. Advanced semi-active prostheses can both …
