An OpenSim-Based Closed-Loop Biomechanical Wrist Model for Subject-Specific Pathological Tremor Simulation
An OpenSim-Based Closed-Loop Biomechanical Wrist Model for Subject-Specific Pathological Tremor Simulation 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Objective: A pathological tremor (PT) is an involuntary rhythmic movement of varying frequency and amplitude that affects voluntary motion, thus compromising individuals’ independence. A comprehensive model incorporating PT’s physiological and… read more

Systematic Variation of Prosthetic Foot Spring Affects Center-of-Mass Mechanics and Metabolic Cost During Walking
Author(s)3: Karl E. Zelik, Steven H. Collins, Peter G. Adamczyk, Ava D. Segal, Glenn K. Klute, David C. Morgenroth, Michael E. Hahn, Michael S. Orendurff, Joseph M. Czerniecki, Arthur D. Kuo
Systematic Variation of Prosthetic Foot Spring Affects Center-of-Mass Mechanics and Metabolic Cost During Walking 1264 855 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

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…
