Abstrakt:	Researchers at the University of Florida have conducted a study on individuals with transtibial amputations and their ability to control robotic ankle prostheses using myoelectric control. The study found that participants were able to increase peak ankle power and generate greater ankle work with the powered prosthesis compared to their passive device. Although the differences were not statistically significant, participants preferred walking with the prosthesis under myoelectric control. The findings suggest that individuals with transtibial amputation can learn to walk with an untethered powered prosthesis under continuous myoelectric control. [Extracted from the article]
