Development of a Length-Actuated Lower Limb Prosthesis: Functional Prototype and Pilot Study

Join Dr. Steve Gard, editor-in-chief for the Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, as he chats with Dr. John DesJardins, a Hambright Distinguished Professor of Engineering Leadership in Bioengineering at Clemson University. The two talk about a length-actuated prosthesis prototype design, the goal of functional biomimicry, and the collected qualitative feedback from two prosthesis users in the pilot study. Discussion revolves around the motivation behind the study, primary findings, and clinical takeaways.
