The Cost of Assistance: High Prosthetic Knee Torque Reduces Biological Joint Work But Induces Symmetry Tradeoffs in Knee Power and Center-of-Mass Velocity During Stair Ascent

Stair ascent is a biomechanically demanding activity for individuals with transfemoral amputation, often requiring significant overreliance on the residual hip and sound biological joints to compensate for the lack of positive power in conventional passive prostheses. Although powered prostheses can generate positive p...
