In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Patients with lower limb amputations are equipped with prostheses that can be mechanical and/or electronic. These prostheses can be mono-articular (only the ankle) or bi-articular (knee and ankle for example). For amputee patients, situations that may seem trivial, such as climbing and descending stairs, become complex. Thus during the descent of stairs, an unamputated person will slow down the descent by contracting the thigh muscles, which are obviously lacking in the amputee patient. Current prostheses, known as "intelligent" (or "microprocessor") prostheses, make it possible to adjust the locomotion only once the first step has been taken and to assist the patient during ascent/descent situations on slopes and stairs. The next technological challenge in the development of lower limb equipment is to be able to anticipate these complex environmental situations, in order to secure and f
