BADGER Lab Ph.D. Candidate Kieran Nichols and Director Peter Adamczyk are co-authors on two more papers describing novel simulation approaches in biomechanics with prostheses, lead-authored by Michael McGeehan and advisor Mike Hahn at the University of Oregon. The papers are based on data and technology developed in the the BADGER Lab’s Variable-Stiffness Foot project. In total, this team has published three papers on the topic:
