Sagittal and transverse ankle angle coupling can influence prosthetic socket transverse plane moments Open
Introduction The intact foot and ankle comprise a complex set of joints that allow rotation in multiple planes of motion. Some of these motions are coupled, meaning rotation in one plane induces motion in another. One such coupling is betw…

Simulated Able-Bodied Lower-Limb Joint Loading While Walking on Unexpected Uneven Terrain Open
Walking on uneven terrain is a common task throughout daily living and can cause changes in lower-limb kinematics and mechanics. Joint loading, while difficult to measure experimentally, may also increase on uneven terrain, which could con…

Using Deep Learning Models to Predict Prosthetic Ankle Torque Open
Inverse dynamics from motion capture is the most common technique for acquiring biomechanical kinetic data. However, this method is time-intensive, limited to a gait laboratory setting, and requires a large array of reflective markers to b…

A Data-Driven and Personalized Stance Symmetry Controller for Robotic Ankle-Foot Prostheses: A Preliminary Investigation Open
People with unilateral transtibial amputation generally exhibit asymmetric gait, likely due to inadequate prosthetic ankle function. This results in compensatory behavior, leading to long-term musculoskeletal impairments (e.g., osteoarthri…

ESTABLISHING THE RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY OF THE COMPONENT TIMED-UP-AND-GO TEST TO DETERMINE BASIC PROSTHETIC MOBILITY IN PEOPLE WITH LOWER LIMB AMPUTATION Open
INTRODUCTION
Studies suggest that brief bouts of activity consisting of sit-to-stand transitions, gait initiation, turning and negotiation of obstacles, are essential tasks of daily mobility, as well as prosthetic mobility1,2. Using outco…

A Coronally Clutching Ankle to Improve Amputee Balance on Coronally Uneven and Unpredictable Terrain Open
To improve the balance of individuals with lower limb amputation on coronally uneven terrain, a coronally clutching ankle (CCA) was developed to actively adapt through ±15 deg of free coronal foot rotation during the first ∼60 ms of initia…

Identifying classifier input signals to predict a cross-slope during transtibial amputee walking Open
Advanced prosthetic foot designs often incorporate mechanisms that adapt to terrain changes in real-time to improve mobility. Early identification of terrain (e.g., cross-slopes) is critical to appropriate adaptation. This study suggests t…

Foot and Ankle Joint Biomechanical Adaptations to an Unpredictable Coronally Uneven Surface Open
Coronally uneven terrain, a common yet challenging feature encountered in daily ambulation, exposes individuals to an increased risk of falling. The foot-ankle complex may adapt to improve balance on uneven terrains, a recovery strategy wh…

Residual limb skin temperature and thermal comfort in people with amputation during activity in a cold environment Open
Thermal comfort remains a common problem for people with lower-limb amputation. Both donning a prosthesis and engaging in activity at room temperature can increase residual limb skin temperature; however, the effects of activity on skin te…

Prosthesis management of residual-limb perspiration with subatmospheric vacuum pressure Open
For the ambulatory person with lower-limb amputation, insufficient management of perspiration can result in inadequate prosthesis adherence, reduced mobility, and discomfort. This study compared a dynamic air exchange (DAE) prosthesis desi…
