Lower-limb amputees expend more energy to walk than non-amputees and have an elevated risk of secondary disabilities. Insufficient push-off by the prosthetic foot may be a contributing factor. We aimed to systematically study the effect of prosthetic foot mechanics on...

Vibration Stimulation as a Non-Invasive Approach to Monitor the Severity of Meniscus Tears
Mohsen Safaei, Nicholas B. Bolus, Daniel C. Whittingslow, Hyeon Ki Jeong, Alper Erturk, Omer T. Inan
Musculoskeletal disorders and injuries are one of the most prevalent medical conditions across age groups. Due to a high load-bearing function, the knee is particularly susceptible to injuries such as meniscus tears. Imaging techniques are commonly used to assess meniscus...

Running With a Powered Knee and Ankle Prosthesis
Abstract
This paper presents a running control architecture for a powered knee and ankle prosthesis that enables a transfemoral amputee to run with a biomechanically appropriate running gait and to intentionally transition between a walking and running gait. The control architecture consists firstly of a...

Abstract
Powered exoskeletons can empower paraplegics to stand and walk. Actively controlled hip ab/adduction (HAA) is needed for weight shift and for lateral foot placement to support dynamic balance control and to counteract disturbances...

An Adaptive Home-Use Robotic Rehabilitation System for the Upper Body
Robotic rehabilitation systems have been developed to treat these musculoskeletal conditions, but limited availability prevents most patients from using them. The objective of this research was to create a home-use robotic rehabilitation system.
Data was obtained in real-time from a Microsoft...
