Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Amanda Shultz"
Amanda Shultz's research primarily focuses on the development of advanced control systems for powered prosthetic devices, particularly for ankle and knee prostheses, enhancing functionality for activities like walking, running, and navigating uneven terrain.
The findings indicate that these control systems can effectively emulate the biomechanical behavior of healthy limbs, improving user functionality and adaptability during various movements, including stair ascent and descent.
Additionally, Shultz's work incorporates user-centered evaluations, demonstrating the efficacy of these prosthetic controllers through experiments with amputee subjects, thereby contributing to the field of rehabilitation engineering and prosthetic design.
