Furthermore, in a pilot study, this algorithm, called complementary limb motion estimation (CMLE), was applied to control an active knee exoprosthesis.
Design and Control of a New Biomimetic Transfemoral Knee Prosthesis Using an Echo-Control Scheme
About 1 year after the initial diagnosis, a knee disarticulation was performed and the patient was supplied with an exoprosthesis. In this case, authors have discussed that using a prosthesis system instead of the allograft might have saved the limb of their patient [10].
Tibia Adamantinoma Resection and Reconstruction with a Custom-Made Total Tibia Endoprosthesis: A Case Report with 8-Year Follow-Up
The exoprosthesis was set up such that in the coronal (frontal) plane, the long axis of the exoprosthesis was in line with the abutment; in the sagittal plane, the long axis of the exoprosthesis was vertical at midstance; and in the transverse plane, the foot was parallel to the nominal direction of progression at midstance (i.e., neither in- or out-toed).
Muscle activity during stance phase of walking: comparison of males with transfemoral amputation with osseointegrated fixations to nondisabled male volunteers
(35,36) Osseointegration avoids common socket complications by using direct skeletal attachment of an exoprosthesis to the residual limb (35) and has demonstrated success in transhumeral, transtibial and transfemoral amputations.
The road to recovery and rehabilitation for injured service members with limb loss: a focus on Iraq and Afghanistan
As a result of an increased desire for functionality for patients with transfemoral, transhumeral, and transtibial amputations [3,9-11], osseointegration technology has been developed for direct skeletal attachment of an exoprosthesis to the residual limb.
