This short communication presents the gait1415+2 musculoskeletal model, that has been developed in OpenSim to describe the lower-extremity of a human subject with transfemoral amputation wearing a generic lower-limb bone-anchored prosthesis. The mode...

BACKGROUND: Vertical displacement of the residual limb within transtibial prosthetic socket, often known as "pistoning" or downward movement, may lead to skin breakdowns and ulcers. Downward movement is particularly difficult to self-manage for diabe...
Current lower-limb prostheses do not provide active assistance in postural control tasks to maintain the user's balance, particularly in situations of perturbation. In this study, we aimed to address this missing function by enabling neural control o...
The conformal integration of the electronic skin on the non-developable surface is in great demand for the comprehensive tactile sensing of robotics and prosthetics. However, the current techniques still encounter obstacles in achieving conformal int...

Electromyography (EMG) pattern recognition is an important technology for prosthesis control and human-computer interaction etc. However, the practical application of EMG pattern recognition is hampered by poor accuracy and robustness due to electrod...
Bio-inspired cilium-based mechanosensors offer a high level of responsiveness, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial, environmental, and biomedical applications. Despite great promise, the development of sensors with multifunctionality,...
Development and implementation of neuroprosthetic hands is a multidisciplinary field at the interface between humans and artificial robotic systems, which aims at replacing the sensorimotor function of the upper-limb amputees as their own. Although p...

BACKGROUND: Machine-learning-based myocontrol of prosthetic devices suffers from a high rate of abandonment due to dissatisfaction with the training procedure and with the reliability of day-to-day control. Incremental myocontrol is a promising appro...
. The limited functionality of hand prostheses remains one of the main reasons behind the lack of its wide adoption by amputees. Indeed, while commercial prostheses can perform a reasonable number of grasps, they are often inadequate for manipulating...
