Abstract: Objective: Active exoskeletons can handle different walking conditions, but require bulky components (e.g., motors) that need a significant source of power to do so. Purely passive exoskeletons are lightweight and energy-neutral, containing energy-recycling mechanisms that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0180836
Abstract: Improved walking comfort has been linked with better bio-mimicking of the prosthetic ankle. This study investigated if a hydraulic ankle/foot can provide enough motion in both the sagittal and frontal planes during level and camber… read more here.
