The Waseda Leg Prosthesis (WLP-7R) enables above-knee amputees to navigate stairs without external power. This advanced prosthetic leg uses a hydraulic system for balanced joint movement during walking and stair negotiation.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Prosthetics and Orthotics
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Above-knee amputees face challenges with mobility, particularly on uneven terrain and stairs.
  • Existing prosthetic knees often require external power or extensive training for stair negotiation.
  • The need for passive, intuitive prosthetic solutions for daily activities remains high.
