Control of a Powered Lower Limb Prosthetic Device
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A powered lower limb prosthesis using a four-bar linkage mechanism was previously optimized, designed, and fabricated. Preliminary bench testing was conducted to demonstrate that it is capable ...
Mechanism State Matrices for Planar Reconfigurable Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper introduces mechanism state matrices as a novel way to represent the topological characteristics of planar reconfigurable mechanisms. As part of this new approach, these matrices will ...
Design of an Active Ankle-Foot Prosthesis Utilizing a Four-Bar Mechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article discusses the design and testing of a powered ankle prosthesis. This new prosthesis mimics nonamputee (normal) ankle moments during the stance phase of gait through the use of an ...
Concept Through Preliminary Bench Testing of a Powered Lower Limb Prosthetic Device
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper outlines the design and testing of a powered ankle prosthesis, which utilizes a four-bar mechanism in conjunction with a spring and motor that mimics nonamputee (normal) ankle moments. ...
