Abstract:
Powered ankle-foot prostheses for walking often have limitations in the range of motion and in push-off power, if compared to a lower limb of a healthy person. A new design of a powered ankle-foot prosthesis is proposed to obtain a wide range of motion and an adequate power for a push-off step. The design methodology for this prosthesis has three points. In the first one, a dimensionless kinematic model of the lower limb in the sagittal plane is built, through an experimental campaign with healthy subjects, to calculate the angles of lower limb during the gait. In the second point a multibody

Abstract:
This article presents and compares two different control systems for a powered knee and ankle prosthesis for transfemoral amputees, which were constructed to provide the user a safe, intuitive, and well-coordinated interaction with the prosthesis. The piecewise-passive impedance (PPI) controller utilizes only impedance-like behaviors, while the second – a hybrid impedance-admittance (HIA) controller – utilizes both impedance-like and admittance-like behaviors in a hybrid approach. The HIA approach maintains many of the desirable characteristics of the PPI controller while also reducing the num

Abstract:
Significant research effort has gone towards the development of powered lower limb prostheses that control power during gait. These devices use forward prediction based on electromyography (EMG), kinetics and kinematics to command the prosthesis which locomotion activity is desired. Unfortunately these predictions can have substantial errors, which can potentially lead to trips or falls. It is hypothesized that one reason for the significant prediction errors in the current control systems for powered lower-limb prostheses is due to the inter- and intra-subject variability of the data sources

Abstract:
Fast and accurate gait phase detection is essential to achieve effective powered lower-limb prostheses and exoskeletons. As the versatility but also the complexity of these robotic devices increases, the research on how to make gait detection algorithms more performant and their sensing devices smaller and more wearable gains interest. A functional gait detection algorithm will improve the precision, stability, and safety of prostheses, and other rehabilitation devices. In the past years the state-of-the-art has advanced significantly in terms of sensors, signal processing, and gait detection

Abstract:
Background: Individuals with leg amputations who use passive prostheses have greater metabolic demands than non-amputees likely due to limited net positive work compared to a biological ankle. New powered ankle–foot prostheses can perform net positive mechanical work to aid push-off capabilities, which may reduce metabolic demands. Objectives: Compare step-to-step transition work and metabolic demand during level and inclined walking using passive and powered ankle-foot prostheses. Study Design: Repeated measures. Methods: Six individuals with transtibial amputation and six able-bodied control

Abstract:
Ideal prostheses are defined as artificial limbs that would permit physically impaired individuals freedom of movement and independence rather than a life of disability and dependence. Current lower limb prostheses range from a single mechanical revolute joint to advanced microprocessor controlled mechanisms. Despite the advancement in technology and medicine, current lower limb prostheses are still lacking an actuation element, which prohibits patients from regaining their original mobility and improving their quality of life.

Abstract:
Human upright locomotion emerged about 6 million years ago. It is achieved by a complex interaction of the biological infrastructure and the neural control. Bones, muscles, tendons, central nervous commands and reflex mechanisms interact to provide robust and efficient bipedal movement patterns like walking or running. Next to these locomotion tasks humans can also perform complex movements like climbing, dancing or jumping. Diseases or traumatic events may cause the loss of parts of the biological infrastructure or the ability to control the lower limbs. Thus an identification of the required

Abstract:
Lower-limb amputation affects the ambulation ability and quality of life of about 600,000 individuals in the United States alone1. Individuals with transfemoral amputation typically walk slower, expend more energy, and have a higher risk of falls than able-bodied individuals2. Ambulation activities such as climbing ramps or stairs or standing up from a seated position are much more difficult than for able-bodied persons. Advances in prosthetic technologies are needed to improve the ambulation ability of above-knee amputees. Passive knee prostheses are lightweight, robust, and quiet, but can on

An estimated 623,000 individuals are living with a major lower leg amputation in the United States [1]. Of these amputations, 78% were due to peripheral vascular disease (PVD) and 45% were due to PVD in individuals with type I or II diabetes [2]. With diabetes and PVD incidence levels on the rise [1] and those in a depressed socio-economic situation more susceptible to develop type II diabetes [3], the demand for affordable, high quality ankle prostheses has never been higher.

Abstract:
Even today’s most sophisticated microprocessor controlled ankle-foot prosthetic devices are passive. They lack internal elements that actively generate power, which is required during the “push-off” phase of normal able-bodied walking gait. Consequently, lower limb amputees expend 20–30% more metabolic power to walk at the same speed as able-bodied individuals. Key challenges in the development of an active ankle-foot prosthetic device are the lack of high power and energy densities in current actuator technology. Human gait requires 250W of peak power and 36 Joules of energy per step (80kg su

Recent progresses in powered lower-limb prostheses have the potential of enabling amputee users to conduct energetically demanding locomotive tasks, which are usually beyond the capability of traditional unpowered prostheses. Realizing such potential, however, requires responsive and reliable control of the power provided by prosthetic joints. In this paper, an integrated walking-stair climbing control approach is presented for transfemoral prostheses with powered knee joints. Leveraging the similarities between walking and stair climbing, this new approach adopts the general finite-state impe
