“…Further, the control architecture based on stiff tracking of the knee angle should be avoided in order to enable the amputee to use the prosthesis more interactively, rather than reacting to it [ 24 ]. Therefore, the potential of prostheses based on MR damper remain untapped in such low-income economies due to the unavailability, complexity, and incurring cost of design and manufacturing [ 20 , 23 , 27 ].…”

“…In the MR damper, modulation of magnetic field strength can offer variable resistance to the flow of MR fluid. Placement of electromagnets around the piston rod and MR fluid as a working medium inside a hydraulic cylinder can result in a variable damping [ 20 , 23 , 27 ]. Damping can be modulated by changing the current flowing in the coils of the electromagnet.…”

“…The cost of prosthesis and its maintenance is a primary factor in underdeveloped countries and regions. 2326 The international transradial adjustable limb (ITAL) proposed by Alwyn Johnson in 2009 (Figure 11) 4,27,28 provides a new option for economically disadvantaged amputees in the United States and developing countries. ITAL comprises an innovative variable compression, variable below-elbow interface geometry, a new body-powered prehensor with adjustable pinch force, control harness, and cable.…”
