MOTU++ - Studio Clinico Protesi
The aim of the present study is to verify the functionalitỳ, the degree of safety and the reliability of devices composed of an intelligent socket that allows the detection of biosignals and provides vibrotactile feedback and a prosthesis with active knee and ankle joints and a sensorised foot, for people with trans-femoral or trans-tibial amputation, which allows the optimisation of the gait cycle by providing active assistance at the knee and ankle joints according to the specific movement made by the user. The prototype devices are innovative in that they make it possible to optimise the benefits generated by the presence of actuated joints by exploiting the biosignals detected to ensure optimal functionalitỳ in the performance of activities̀ of daily living.
• Age between 18 and 80 years;
• Lower limb amputation at the transfemoral or transtibial level;
• Functional medical classification: Level K3-K4 \[25\];
• Subjects wearing a prosthesis for at least 1 year (experienced wearers);
• Maximum body weight 100 kg.
