Controlling Powered Prosthesis Kinematics Over Continuous Inter-Leg Transitions Between Walking and Stair Ascent/Descent

Controlling Powered Prosthesis Kinematics Over Continuous Inter-Leg Transitions Between Walking and Stair Ascent/Descent 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Although powered prosthetic legs have enabled more biomimetic joint kinematics during steady-state activities like walking and stair climbing, transitions between these activities are usually handled by discretely switching controllers without… read more

Compliant Prosthetic Wrists Entail More Natural Use Than Stiff Wrists During Reaching, Not (Necessarily) During Manipulation 560 820 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

    Developing an artificial arm with functions equivalent to those of the human arm is one of the challenging goals of bioengineering. State-of-the-art prostheses lack several degrees of freedom and…
