A prosthetic leg prototype for improved mediolateral balance control: Design of a case–control study

Background: Missing active ankle control limits prosthetic walkers in their ability to control mediolateral balance. Mediolateral balance control may be improved by increasing hip strategy effectiveness. To this purpose, a new, patented prosthetic device has been developed. This paper presents the d...
