Physiological parameters analysis allows for a precise quantification of energy expenditure of transfemoral amputees with different prosthetic knees. Comparative physiological parameters analysis that indicate the functional characteristics of knee joints is essential to the choice of transfemoral amputee. The aim of this study was to propose a microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee (i-KNEE) and...
Pattern recognition based on myoelectric speed control is critical for neural-controlled powered lower limb prostheses. We preliminarily investigated the performance of surface electromyography signals used to identify movement modes with different speeds. The pattern recognition was tested on electromyography data collected from five muscles of sixteen able-bodied subjects. The BP neural network...
This study aimed to characterize buttock pressure during 0, 15, 25, 35 degree posterior sitting posture in children. In order to make sure which tilt is perfect for buttock pressure for children with wheelchairs. This study utilized Force Sensory Array to assess changes in buttock pressure during 0, 15, 25, 35 degree posterior tilt sitting posture. One-way pair T tests was used to assess underlying...
The prevention of pressure ulcers remains a significant problem in rehabilitation engineering, cushion takes an extra important role in the prevention of pressure sores for high-risk people who require wheelchairs for movements. The aim of this study was to design a cushion preventing pressure ulcers. A new efficient method to manufacture custom-contoured cushion (CCC) was proposed, and clinical research...
