Let Them Walk! Current Prosthesis Options for Leg and Foot AmputeesProsthesis ImplantationCurrentlower legPes假体植入Amputation has been long used to alleviate both congenital and acquired ailments of the extremities. The Indian poem "Rig-Vieda" is the first written record of an amputation (between ...
The influence of push-off timing in a robotic ankle-foot prosthesis on the energetics and mechanics of walking Robotic ankle-foot prostheses that provide net positive push-off work can reduce the metabolic rate of walking for individuals with amputation, but benefit...

The ankle–foot prosthesis aims to compensate for the missing motor functions by fitting the motion characteristics of the human ankle, which contributes to enabling the lower-limb amputees to take care of themselves and improve mobility in daily life. To address the problems of poor bionic motion...
amputation is called upper extremity prostheses and are thus classified as such. However, there are simple classification of: prosthetic wrist, prosthetic elbow, prosthetic shoulder, prosthetic arm and terminal device. Currently, there are primarily passive and active prostheses for support to upper ...
Powered ankle–foot prostheses offer the potential to emulate natural locomotion dynamics, thereby addressing the issues related to uneven gait and insufficient propulsion typically experienced by individuals with lower limb amputation wearing a passive prosthetic device. Despite significant progress, ...
prosthesis users who have a dominant limb amputation exhibit different functional outcomes or device preferences than those who have a non-dominant limb amputation. If so, these findings could have important implications to prosthetic foot design and clinical prescription. Moving forward, we plan to ...
Ankle inversion–eversion compliance is an important feature of conventional prosthetic feet, and control of inversion, or roll, in active prostheses could improve balance for people with amputation. We designed a tethered ankle–foot prosthesis with two independently actuated toes that are coordinated ...

for the individual with left amputation. The adult with a right prosthesis may choose to cross the left leg so that the sensate left foot moves the accelerator and brake pedals. Others install an extension to the accelerator so that the left foot can reach it comfortably. Individuals with t...
