- This National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Project Grant award of $275,197, issued on Aug 10, 2023, supports the development and evaluation of a novel, compliant low-profile prosthetic foot. The key objectives are to (1) design and test a family of layered low-profile prosthetic feet, (2) assess the biomechanical benefits of the layered low-profile foot with transtibial prosthesis users with short and long residual limbs, and (3) evaluate the biomechanical function...
- The University of Michigan received a $280,260 Project Grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research (CFDA 93.865) program. The grant, awarded on December 1, 2024, with a completion date of March 13, 2027, aims to improve the design and functionality of ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) used to address foot drop and gait issues. The project will develop a "Decoupled Energy Storage and Return Variable...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) is funding a collaborative research project between the University of Colorado at Boulder and the University of Delaware. The project aims to investigate the potential benefits of passive ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) with customized and biomimetic stiffness profiles for restoring gait mechanics in individuals with disrupted ankle function, such as those post-stroke. The $392,482 award will...
- This federal Project Grant award of $137,859, provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will fund a research study at the University of Delaware to characterize the balance control mechanisms of individuals with and without chronic stroke during unconstrained and complex walking tasks. The research aims to determine how walking adaptability is related to balance...
- This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), is focused on developing end-to-end impedance control models to enable seamless, accurate, and reliable control of powered prosthetic legs across a wide range of activities of daily living (ADLs). The $148,880 award, with a performance period from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2027, will...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) is funding a collaborative research effort between the University of Colorado at Boulder and the University of Delaware to investigate the potential benefits of customized and biomimetic ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) for restoring gait mechanics. The $207,611 award, which runs from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028, aims to develop an AFO model with more complex properties that better mimic normal...
- The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $613,738 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to Kate Allyn Prosthetic Research, LLC. The goal of this 1-year project is to develop a novel pediatric prosthetic foot-ankle system with a normalized ankle range of motion that can be adjusted to meet the needs of children during diverse types of play and physical...
- The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) awarded a $686,880 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to Marquette University. The grant, titled "Advancing Functional Assessment of Pediatric Flatfoot Using Weightbearing CT", will fund a 5-year research project to comprehensively study the 3D structure and function of pediatric planus (flatfoot) deformities using emerging...
- This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will investigate the impact of cognitive-motor interference on balance control in children with cerebral palsy. The $291,848 award, effective from November 1, 2024 to April 30, 2027, will be used to evaluate proactive and reactive balance control in single and dual-task conditions...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) provides $640,236 to investigate the influence of prosthetic foot stiffness on outcomes for individuals with transtibial bone-anchored limbs (BALs). The overarching goal is to determine how prosthetic foot stiffness impacts loading-related outcomes such as mobility, physical function, and quality of life for those with transtibial osseointegrated prostheses. The 5-year project aims to address key knowledge gaps around optimizing prosthetic prescriptions for this population, as current standards are largely based on evidence from socket prosthesis users rather than BAL users. The research will be conducted by the University of Colorado-Denver, a prominent public research university.
