Design Feasibility of an Active Ankle-Foot Stabilizer
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-30)Walking is the most common form of mobility in humans. For lower limb mobility impairments, a common treatment is to prescribe an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) or brace, which is a passive device designed to resist undesired ... -
Determinants of Increased Energy Cost in Prosthetic Gait
(University of Waterloo, 2004)The physiological energy requirements of prosthetic gait in lower-limb amputees have been observed to be significantly greater than those for able-bodied subjects. However, existing models of energy flow in walking have ... -
Gait shape control for 2-D.O.F bipedal robots using hybrid virtual holonomic constraints
(University of Waterloo, 2014-07-29)Motion control for bipedal robots is an active research area because bipedal robots can perform tasks and work in terrain where wheeled robots cannot. Researchers have developed bipedal robots that are able to walk, run ...
