Abstract

Prosthetic clinical experience indicates many veterans suffer from lack of endurance, non-symmetrical gait, and high levels of effort while simply walking at their self-selected pace. The integration of an artificial musculo-tendon actuator into a below-knee prosthesis has the potential to greatly improve amputee gait by providing the missing propulsive force of the ankle musculature.
