This paper examines the impact of a biomimetic active knee prosthesis on the metabolic costs associated with a unilateral transfemoral amputee walking at self selected speed. In this study we compare the antagonistic active knee prosthesis developed at MIT to an electronically controlled, variable-damping commercial knee prosthesis, the Otto Bock C-leg. Use of the active knee prosthesis resulted in...
Powered lower-limb orthosis is a type of wearable mechanical devices that can serve a wide variety of important biomedical purposes. Due to the constraints associated with the actuation technology, the majority of current lower-limb orthoses are either passive or tethered to external power sources, limiting the functionality of such devices. In this paper, the authors present their preliminary research...
