“…The design of a wrist with an MR brake (Figure 16(b)) in parallel with a motor-reducer system was proposed by Dutra et al (2022). The authors optimized the prosthetic dimensions to guarantee greater torque and lower energy consumption within restrictions.…”

“…MRF-based systems have the potential to play an increasingly important role in the medical and rehabilitation fields (Hua et al, 2021; Liu et al, 2022). In prosthesis development, although current MRF applications (summarized in Table 1) have been centered on linear dampers and brakes for knee prostheses, some works have applied the fluid in ankle-foot prostheses (Arteaga et al, 2019a; Li et al, 2006; Negi et al, 2021; Verma et al, 2013; Vladu et al, 2021), hand (Erickson et al, 2007), wrist (Dutra et al, 2022) as well as in sockets (Ogawa et al, 2008).…”

Magnetorheological fluids (MRF) are intelligent materials that can vary their yield stress in response to an applied magnetic field. This characteristic, combined with active and multifunctional control, allows the development of actuators with fast response time, low energy consumption, long service life, and reduced dimensions and weights. Various studies have been conducted to improve MR dampers in prosthetic applications, including knees, ankle-foot, hands, and sockets. Here, we present a critical review of the progress of MRFs in the prosthetic field. In addition, research in prostheses’ design, optimization, and control of magnetorheological actuators is investigated, along with MRF modeling, mode of operation, type of MR actuator, classification, and working principle of MRF-based devices. Although MRFs are considered promising materials for designing novel prosthetic devices, this review shows that applications have been predominantly focused on lower limb prostheses. We conclude by discussing possible future applications and challenges that must be faced to enable and improve commercial applications based on MRF technology.
