Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of different microprocessor controlled knee joints on the energy consumption during walking in trans-femoral amputees: intelligent knee prosthesis (IP) versus C-leg.
Takaaki Chin,Katsuhiro Machida,Seishi Sawamura,Ryouichi Shiba,Hiroko Oyabu,Y. Nagakura,Izumi Takase,Akio Nakagawa +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the microprocessor controlled knee joints appeared to be valid alternative for improving walking performance of trans-femoral amputees and the most energy-efficient walking speed for subjects using the IP and C-Leg was the same as for the controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of an Intelligent Prosthesis (IP) on the walking ability of young transfemoral amputees: comparison of IP users with able-bodied people.
Takaaki Chin,Seishi Sawamura,Ryouichi Shiba,Hiroko Oyabu,Y. Nagakura,Izumi Takase,Katsuhiro Machida,Akio Nakagawa +7 more
TL;DR: It was shown that young IP users who undergo an adequate prosthetic rehabilitation program can achieve remarkably improved walking performance and the most metabolically efficient walking speed for the IP users was the same as for the controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy consumption during prosthetic walking and wheelchair locomotion by elderly hip disarticulation amputees.
TL;DR: The results of this research clearly showed that the efficiency of prosthetic walking for elderly hip disarticulation amputees was very low, and wheelchair locomotion may be an alternative to prosthetic Walking as a realistic goal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Successful prosthetic fitting of elderly trans-femoral amputees with Intelligent Prosthesis (IP): a clinical pilot study.
Takaaki Chin,Yoshiaki Maeda,Seishi Sawamura,Hiroko Oyabu,Y. Nagakura,Izumi Takase,Katsuhiro Machida +6 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that elderly trans-femoral amputees who are judged to be in good physical condition appear to merit the application of knee joints with superior swing phase control functions such as IP, regardless of their age.
