Kinematic Arts is committed to conducting meaningful and fundamental
research within the field of Prosthetics and Orthotics. This commitment is an
extension of our insatiable curiosity and desire to help the disabled with
functionally meaningful products. To create the best possible product
advancements, we are very intentional in our efforts to surround ourselves
with talented, industry experts/leaders.
July, 2006 - Present. Research collaboration with the University of
Salford in England to investigate a radically new approach to axial rotation
units. We are honored to be working with Martin Twiste, Ph.D.(a prolific
researcher on the topic) as we explore this unchartered area of Prosthetics.
September, 2006. Successful completion of Mr. Habecker's Master's
Thesis entitled, "Effects of ankle plantarflexion resistance and range of
motion during weight acceptance on transtibial amputee walking velocity".
The study was performed using a Kinematic Arts LR-1 prototype ankle and
allowed for an improved understanding of early stance phase with a
prosthesis. Kinematic Arts is excited about this specific area of research
which will be reflected in some of our future component offerings.
December, 2007 - Present. A collaboration with a cutting-edge
prosthetic design firm to develop a uniquely adjustable prosthetic foot (stay
tuned).
March, 2009. KA-VFX infrared timing system release!
