more meticulous amputation surgeries, allowing them to operate on the limb stump in such a way as to prepare it for interfacing with a prosthesis. Advances in sterile, germ free surgeries also improved the success rate of amputation procedures, increasing the need for prosthetic limbs. ...
Despite the challenges faced by amputees, most learn to adapt to their individual situations remarkably well. Many are able to compensate for their lost abilities with the help of prosthetic devices. As the field of prosthetics continues to advance, the types of capabilities that prosthetics are ab...

For example, the surgeon might attach the same nerves that once controlled a patient's arm to a portion of the patient's chest muscles. After this procedure, when the patient attempts to move his or her amputated arm, the control signals traveling through the original arm nerve will now ...
Since the stiffness of the prosthetic foot is not known, the interface location between the amputated leg and the prosthetic foot cannot be calculated. Therefore, an additional DoF is inserted by adding a point mass 𝑚IFPmIFP at the ankle [24]. Taking a very small value for that mass ...
