DOI: 10.1016/j.recot.2020.01.005
Abstract: Ochronosis is a rare genetic disease of phenylamine and tyrosine metabolism in which an accumulation of homogentisic acid occurs. The accumulation of HGA causes alkaptonuria and deposition in the connective tissue causing a dark colouring… read more here.

Can microprocessor knees reduce the disparity in trips and falls risks between above and below knee prosthesis users?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0271315
Abstract: While all lower limb prosthesis walkers have a high risk of tripping and/or falling, above knee prosthesis users are reported to fall more frequently. Recognising this, engineers designed microprocessor knees (MPK) to help mitigate these… read more here.
