SensorsFor amputees, amputation is a devastating experience. Transfemoral amputees require an artificial lower limb prosthesis as a replacement for regaining their gait functions after amputation.

Beyond Gait: Learning Knee Angle for Seamless Prosthesis Control in Multiple Scenarios [PDF]
arXivDeep learning models have become a powerful tool in knee angle estimation for lower limb prostheses, owing to their adaptability across various gait phases and locomotion modes. Current methods utilize Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLP), Long-Short Term Memory Networks (LSTM), and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), predominantly analyzing motion ...

Passive knee flexion increases forward impulse of the trailing leg during the step-to-step transition [PDF]
arXivHuman walking efficiency relies on the elastic recoil of the Achilles tendon, facilitated by a "catapult mechanism" that stores energy during stance and releases it during push-off. The catapult release mechanism could include the passive flexion of the knee, as the main part of knee flexion was reported to happen passively after leading leg touch-down.
