In recent years, active prosthetic legs have been developed and deployed commercially that help amputees to initiate gait with less effort and more symmetry in the pattern. However, the process of initial set up and tuning is highly time and cost consuming. It requires prosthetic experts to observe the gait and the feedback from amputees to manually tune the parameters subjectively. In this study,...
Human gait is a complex process resulting from contraction of various muscle groups with different sizes. With the loss of a lower limb, amputees use passive prosthetics to replace the lost limb and regain function. Operating a prosthetic leg, requires more metabolic energy expenditure and greater pressure on the residual limb. In order to understand the muscle activity during human gait, a set of...
Sixty-six percent of African American women (AAW) are overweight or obese. This study examined the relations, if any, among body mass, glucose tolerance and thigh adipose in AAW. Twenty-six African American women (AAW) participated in this two-part study. One part involved a magnetic resonance image (MRI) of both thighs and the other an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Subjects were classified...
