Passive Controller Design for Swing Phase of a Single Axis Above-Knee Prosthesis
In this research we design a passive controller for an above knee prosthesis. The controller is a linear spring and damper for swing phase motion, parameters of which determined via optimization of adjustment of the prosthesis shank motion with a desired shank angle trajectory comes from experimental data. In this way, we exerted a certain thigh motion, hip movement included, into the system as...
متن کاملA Series of 210 Peripheral Arterial Disease Below-Knee Amputations and Predictors for Subsequent Above-Knee Amputations
Objective: To review patient characteristics and outcomes after peripheral arterial disease (PAD)-related below-knee amputation (BKA), and identify risk factors predicting subsequent above-knee amputation (AKA). Materials and Methods: A retrospective study of 210 BKAs between May 2008 and December 2015. Results: The mean age of the study population was 66 years. Most of the patients had cardiov...
متن کاملProsthesis-free solution for below-knee amputations.
The Ilizarov fixator can be used as a bone regenerator to correct limb-length discrepancies in patients who require limb lengthening.A 17-year-old man presented with 12 cm of left lower-limb shortening and amputation at the left mid-forefoot region, which was the result of severe burns of the left lower limb at 2 years of age. The burns damaged the distal femoral, proximal, and distal tibial ph...
متن کاملIntelligently Controlled Above Knee (A/K) Prosthesis
In existing advanced A/K prostheses the sti ness and damping at the prosthetic knee joint are applied by hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders. The pre-set parameters being constant, are not optimal during the whole gait cycle, for di erent walking speeds, and sudden posture irregularities. The complexity of normal and prosthetic gait leads to the development of 'soft' control (non-analytic) governe...
متن کاملA Functional Above-the-Knee Prosthesis
The widely used above-the-knee prosthesis is composed of a quadri lateral muscle-contour, wooden thigh socket, a knee mechanism, a wooden shank, a SACH foot, and a suitable pelvic suspension. This type of pros thesis has met with considerable success in most patients, but it is expensive and not all geriatric patients can wear it. A so-called temporary limb—a modified long brace with a leathe...
