Lecture scientific study/P&O contribution
Lower limb amputee knee mechanics over gradients and the implications for prosthetic design
Short description
Observations of joint kinematics for level and inclined walking indicated that transtibial users were able to adapt swing phase knee flexion during slope ascent, while transfemoral users could not. Reducing prosthetic knee flexion damping on inclines helps to improve ground clearance.
