Abstract: This article outlines the controller design for a specific active transtibial prosthesis. The controller governs the power output of a DC motor attached to a fourbar mechanism and torsional spring. Active power reinforcement ...

Abstract: In this paper, it is proposed that the central nervous system (CNS) controls human gait using a predictive control approach in conjunction with classical feedback control instead of exclusive classical feedback control ...

Abstract: A powered anklefoot prothesis and its control system were previously designed and built. To evaluate this prosthesis, amputee subject testing was performed. The testing results are analyzed and compared between the powered ...
