Transfemoral prosthesis socket design to address size changes in mature adult residual limbs

Lead Research Organisation: Imperial College London
Department Name: Bioengineering

Abstract

Musculoskeletal modelling utilises inverse kinematic and inverse dynamic calculations. Working with this consolidated what I previously enjoyed learning about this in biomechanics, and
human neuromechanical control and learning modules. The latter covered interesting material about the control strategies employed by humans, and how they can be recreated in
robots. Additionally, we touched on human-robot interactions, and how two separate control
systems can be best designed to achieve a common goal. This would be particularly relevant
for the design of a robotic exoskeleton to assist with movement, as it needs to collaborate
with the body's motor control system.
