Abstract: Individuals with lower-limb amputation often have difficulty walking on slopes, in part due to limitations of conventional prosthetic feet. Conventional prostheses have fixed ankle set-point angles and cannot fully replicate able-bodied ankle dynamics. Microprocessor-controlled ankles… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/access.2019.2957823
Abstract: 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 prosthesis. The performance of the prosthetic knee determines the walking… read more here.
