Journal ArticleDOI
Prosthetic feet: State-of-the-art review and the importance of mimicking human ankle–foot biomechanics
TL;DR: The importance of mimicking human ankle–foot biomechanics with prosthetic feet is briefly discussed and prior work in both objective and subjective evaluation of prosthetic gait is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
A biomechatronical transtibial prosthesis powered by pleated pneumatic artificial muscles
Rino Versluys,Anja Desomer,Gerlinde Lenaerts,Olivier Pareit,Bram Vanderborght,Georges Van der Perre,Louis Peeraer,Dirk Lefeber +7 more
TL;DR: The design of a pneumatically powered transtibial prosthetic device is presented and a first prototype has been built and provides a preliminary test bed for control algorithm development and testing with able-bodied subjects in laboratory conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Safety of a Robot Actuated by Pneumatic Muscles—A Case Study
Michael Van Damme,Pieter Beyl,Bram Vanderborght,Rino Versluys,Ronald Van Ham,Innes Vanderniepen,Frank Daerden,Dirk Lefeber +7 more
TL;DR: A study of the safety of a lightweight robot actuated by pneumatic muscles that has excellent hardware safety characteristics, but it is shown that the system can be unsafe when under PID control and safety can be greatly increased by using Proxy-Based Sliding Mode Control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Successful preliminary walking experiments on a transtibial amputee fitted with a powered prosthesis.
Rino Versluys,Gerlinde Lenaerts,Michael Van Damme,Ilse Jonkers,Anja Desomer,Bram Vanderborght,Louis Peeraer,Georges Van der Perre,Dirk Lefeber +8 more
TL;DR: This study supports the hypothesis that a powered transtibial prosthesis with adaptable stiffness might be beneficial to the amputee.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Orthopaedic rehabilitation: A powered elbow orthosis using compliant actuation
TL;DR: The schematic representation and working principle of this actuator are recapitulated in short before describing the mathematical model of the orthosis and the choices made to find a balance between simplicity, usefulness and correspondence with reality.
