Conventional prostheses do not restore the missing function of the gastrocnemius muscle. The aim of this long-term project is to develop a novel biarticular prosthesis (BP) that replicates the function of the gastrocnemius muscle and then determine if the BP\u00a0reduces asymmetrical and undesirable gait\u00a0patterns\u00a0associated with\u00a0conventional prostheses. By normalizing leg muscle patterns, lower-limb amputees using the BP\u00a0may experience less discomfort and find it easier to walk.<\/p>\n<h1>Project Updates (newest first)<\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/faculty.washington.edu\/paubin\/wordpress\/research-3\/biarticular-prosthesis-2\/biarticular-prosthesis-young-investigators-symposium-2016\">BP: Kinematic and Kinetic Analysis of a Transtibial Biarticular Prosthesis<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/faculty.washington.edu\/paubin\/wordpress\/research-3\/biarticular-prosthesis-2\/biarticular-prosthesis-nwbs-2016\">BP: Evaluation of the Mechanical Function of a Novel Lower-Limb Biarticular Prosthesis<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/faculty.washington.edu\/paubin\/wordpress\/research-3\/biarticular-prosthesis-2\/biarticular-prosthesis-young-investi\">BP: Model Development and Sensitivity Analysis of Clutched Spring Parameters<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/faculty.washington.edu\/paubin\/wordpress\/research-3\/biarticular-prosthesis-2\/biarticular-prosthesis-pilot-project\">BP: Simulations of Walking with a Prosthetic Gastrocnemius Spring<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The biarticular gastrocnemius muscle spans across the ankle and knee joint and performs several useful functions during walking.
