Technology Efficacy in Active Prosthetic Knees for Transfemoral Amputees: A Quantitative Evaluation

摘要: Several studies have presented technological ensembles of active knee systems for transfemoral prosthesis. Other examined the amputees' gait performance while wearing a specific This paper combined both insights, that is, technical examination components used, with an evaluation how these improved respective users. study aims to offer quantitative understanding potential enhancement derived from strategic integration core elements in developing effective device. The systematically discussed current technology prosthesis respect its functional walking amongst above-knee amputee users, evaluate system's efficacy producing close-to-normal user performance. performances actuator, sensory system, and control technique are incorporated each reported system were evaluated separately numerical comparisons conducted based on percentage deviation normal profile points. results identified particular contributed closest parameters. However, conclusion is limitedly extendable due small number studies. Thus, more clinical validation prosthetic needed better understand extent contribution component most development.
