Abstract: BACKGROUND Current processes for identifying the best microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee (MPK) for individuals with transfemoral amputations are subjective, nonscientific, and sometimes fail to consider unique patient needs. Inaccurate prescriptions may hinder a patient's ability to… read more here.

Abstract: Background: Despite the evidence for improved safety and function of microprocessor stance and swing-controlled prosthetic knees, non-microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees are still standard of care for persons with transfemoral amputations in most countries. Limited feature microprocessor-control… read more here.
