Compares the positive (concentric) joint work generated by the prosthetic and
intact limbs (via jointWork()) and reports a work-asymmetry index. A value
near 0 is symmetric; positive values indicate the intact limb generates more
positive work than the prosthetic limb.
Usage
pipelineAmputee(
power_prosthetic,
power_intact,
sampling_rate,
body_mass = NULL
)
Arguments
- power_prosthetic, power_intact
Joint power time series (W or W/kg) for
the prosthetic and intact limbs.
- sampling_rate
Sampling rate in Hz.
- body_mass
Optional body mass (kg) for mass-normalised work.
Value
An amputee_report object.
