Use of Metamaterials to Reduce Acoustic Noise Emissions from Lower Limb Prostheses: An Experimental Validation.
IEEE Int Conf Rehabil Robot
September 2023
Recent human-centred design studies suggest that acoustic noise could affect the physical use and psychological acceptance of a biomedical device. These aspects are especially relevant in the prosthetic field, in which device loudness is often related to rejection. The aim of the study is to inquire on the possibility to reduce the acoustic noise emitted by a robotic leg prosthesis by improving its casing.
