A Passive Polycentric Mechanism to Improve Active Mediolateral Balance in Prosthetic Walking

A Passive Polycentric Mechanism to Improve Active Mediolateral Balance in Prosthetic Walking

Prosthetic legs are typically passive systems without active ankle control, restricting mediolateral balancing to a hip strategy. Resulting balance control impairments for persons with a lower extremity amputation may be mitigated by increasing hip strategy effectiveness, in which relatively small h...
