“…However, pneumatic solutions are unsuitable for applications in which a limited actuator volume is required, due to the need for a compressed air source, the requirement of bulky valves (which inevitably increase the weight of the device), the high noise production during actuation, and the compressible nature of gas that makes it difficult to achieve accurate control of position and/or force. Moreover, the need of pressurized air implies that additional masses, such as the air cylinder, need to be added to the overall system [16,20]. Therefore, all currently used actuation technologies show some inherent limitations when used in prosthetic applications.…”
