Prolonged adaptation to a robotic prosthesis enhances gait symmetry: A case study in a transtibial amputee
This case study highlights the potential of long-term adaptive rehabilitation combined with advanced robotic prostheses to restore natural, energy-efficient gait mechanics in transtibial amputees. The findings emphasize the importance of a minimum six-month adaptation period for optimizing prosthetic function, offering valuable insights for personalized rehabilitation strategies and future prosthetic development.
