This ground-breaking title begins with an introductory overview of
the Lower Extremity Gait Systems (LEGS) project, identifying
concerns and observations as context for the reader to consider
topics and challenges detailed in later chapters. Next are chapters
that explore relevant military and civilian needs, and an essential
historical context of the capabilities and limitations of
contemporary prosthetics. The section concludes with an overview of
essential components used in passive and active lower limb
prosthetics, including sockets, foot, ankle, and knee systems, as
well as emerging bionic systems. A second section considers
research and development in orthotics, synthetic and biological
materials, volitional control, and wearable robotics (also known as
exoskeletons). Finally, expert authors explore advanced science and
emerging medical perspectives in research related to limb salvage,
osseointegration, limb transplantation, and tissue engineering.
Designed for medical practitioners, engineers, students, and
researchers who use or develop prosthetic technology for civilian
or military amputees, Full Stride: Advancing the State of the Art
in Lower Extremity Gait Systems will be of great interest to trauma
specialists, orthopedists, rehabilitation specialists, nursing
staff and physical therapists, as well as researchers and
scientists who specialize in fields that shape and inform advanced
prosthetic device development such as materials sciences,
engineering (electrical, mechanical, biomedical), robotics, and
human physiology.
