Gait termination on declined compared to level surface; contribution of terminating and trailing limb work in arresting centre of mass velocity

Yes
To terminate gait, the mechanical work-done by the lower-limbs is likely to be predominantly negative but how such work is produced/completed has not previously been investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the amount of negative

Impact of combined microprocessor control of the prosthetic knee and ankle on gait termination in unilateral trans-femoral amputees. Limb mechanical work performed on centre of mass to terminate gait on a declined surface using linx prosthetic device

Autor: Abdulhasan, Zahraa M.

The major objective of this thesis was to investigate how the use of a recently developed microprocessor-controlled limb system altered the negative mechanical work done by the intact and prosthetic limb when trans-femoral amputees terminated gait. P
