Differences in Military Obstacle Course Performance Between Three Energy-Storing and Shock-Adapting Prosthetic Feet in High-Functioning Transtibial Amputees: A Double-Blind, Randomized Control Trial Open

M. Jason Highsmith, Jason T. Kahle, Rebecca M. Miro, Derek J. Lura, Stephanie L. Carey , et al. · 2016

Controls completed the OC faster and with less effort than TTAs regardless of prosthetic foot. No clear differences in prosthetic feet emerged during OC completion; however, individual task performance, perceived effort, and preference res…

Effects of the Genium Knee System On Functional Level, Stair Ambulation, Perceptive and Economic Outcomes In Transfemoral Amputees Open

M. Jason Highsmith, Jason T. Kahle, Matthew M. Wernke, Stephanie L. Carey, Rebecca M. Miro , et al. · 2016

Compared to non-microprocessor knees, the C-Leg microprocessor knee (MPK) is bioenergentically and economically more efficient and safer for transfemoral amputation (TFA) patients. The Genium MPK has demonstrated improvements in perceived …

Effects of the Genium Microprocessor Knee System On Knee Moment Symmetry During Hill Walking Open

M. Jason Highsmith, Tyler D. Klenow, Jason T. Kahle, Matthew M. Wernke, Stephanie L. Carey , et al. · 2016

Use of the Genium microprocessor knee (MPK) system reportedly improves knee kinematics during walking and other functional tasks compared to other MPK systems. This improved kinematic pattern was observed when walking on different hill con…
