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 concept of the book spans the historical evolution
of prosthetic applications from passive to new and futuristic
robotic prosthetic technologies. The author describes the reasons
for amputation, surgical procedures, and an historical perspective
of the prosthesis for the lower limb. He also addresses the phases
and sub-phases of gait and compensatory mechanisms arising for a
transtibial prosthesis and links the compensatory mechanisms to
long-term morbidities. The general technologies for gait analysis
central to prosthetic design and the inherent biomechanics
foundations for analysis are also explored. The book reports on
recent-past to current-term applications with passive elastic
prostheses. 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. Finally, the envisioned future trends in the
prosthetic technology space are presented.
