DESCRIPTION:
The author describes the reasons for amputation, surgical procedures, and an historical perspective of the prosthesis for the lower limb. The concept of the book spans the historical evolution of prosthetic applications from passive to new and futuristic robotic prosthetic technologies. The book reports on recent-past to current-term applications with passive elastic prostheses. . Finally, the envisioned future trends in the prosthetic technology space are presented. The ge
The core of the book deals with futuristic robotic prostheses including their function and major subsystems, such as actuator technology, state machine control, and machine learning applications. The book reports on recent-past to current-term applications with passive elastic prostheses. This book focuses on the advances in transtibial prosthetic technology and targets research in the evolution of the powered prosthesis such as the BiOM, which was derived from considerable research and development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The author describes the reasons for amputation, surgical procedures, and an historical persp
