During stance phase of amputee gait, considerable forces are transmitted across the residual limb socket interface. These loads and associated gait patterns can be altered by introducing compliant elements into the prosthesis. However, previous studi...

An electromechanical system is described that comprises a cam and two linear displacement transducers for measuring two-degree of freedom. This is aimed at quantifying the extent and pattern of both transverse rotation and longitudinal translation...
