Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2007. Includes bibliographical references (p. 49-52). Over the past decades, the performance of the below-knee prosthesis has been significantly improved. However, below-knee amputees still experience many problems during locomotion. For example, they normally exhibit non-symmetric gait patterns, slower self-selected walking speeds, and higher gait metabolic rates compared to intact individuals. The objective of this project is to obtain both qualitative and quantitative understanding on the gait of below-knee amputee through literature review and suggest some future research direction for the improvement for current below-knee prosthesis. by Danielle D.
