Design and experimental validation of ligament-mimetic compliant joints for 3D-printed prosthetic elbows

This study presents the design and experimental validation of a prosthetic elbow joint based on compliant mechanisms that mimic the function of elbow ligaments. The proposed design uses crossed flexural beams to enable two modes of motion—flexion–extension and pronation–supination—while reducing the need for discrete m...
