DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF AN ANTERIORLY MOUNTED MICROPROCESSOR-CONTROLLED POWERED HIP JOINT PROSTHESIS
The microprocessor-controlled PHP exhibited successful performance in both mechanical strength and functional testing. Future work is needed to optimize and assess the design, which could reduce the device's weight and size. A complex control system to adjust gait based on pelvic motion is currently under development.
