Design and Testing of a Variable Stiffness Transverse Plane Adaptor for Use in a Lower Limb Prosthesis
<bold>Background</bold> The goal of a lower limb prosthesis is to restore the abilities of the intact limb for an amputee. Daily ambulation includes many maneuvers such as turning, pivoting, and uncertain terrain, all of which require a component of transverse plane mobility. It has been shown that the addition of a transverse ...
