Through the development of a biomechatronic knee prosthesis for transfemoral amputees: Mechanical design and manufacture, human
— This paper presents the development of a biomechatronic knee prosthesis for transfemoral amputees. This kind of prostheses are considered ‘intelligent’ because they are abl...
