IEEE/ASME transactions on mechatronics, 2022 High-performance prostheses are crucial to enable versatile activities like walking, squatting, and running for lower extremity amputees. State-of-the-art prostheses are either not powerful enough to support demanding activities or have low compliance ...

A Power-Capable Knee Prosthesis With Ballistic Swing-Phase
IEEE Transactions on Medical Robotics and Bionics, 2022 This paper proposes a new approach to the design of a power-capable prosthesis; namely, one that expands the behavioral capability of a knee prosthesis into the powered quadrants of the power plane, without sacrificing the range of capable behaviors in ...

Effect of a Swing-Assist Knee Prosthesis on Stair Ambulation
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering, 2021 This paper describes stair ambulation control and functionality of a semi-powered knee prosthesis that supplements nominally passive prosthesis behavior with swing-phase assistance. A set of stair ascent and descent controllers are described.

Powered Prosthesis Locomotion on Varying Terrains: Model-Dependent Control with Real-Time Force Sensing [PDF]
RA-L 7(2):5151-5158, 2022, 2021 Lower-limb prosthesis wearers are more prone to falling than non-amputees. Powered prostheses can reduce this instability of passive prostheses. While shown to be more stable in practice, powered prostheses generally use model-independent control methods that lack formal guarantees of stability and rely on heuristic tuning.

A lightweight robotic leg prosthesis replicating the biomechanics of the knee, ankle, and toe joint
Science Robotics, 2022 Robotic leg prostheses promise to improve the mobility and quality of life of millions of individuals with lower-limb amputations by imitating the biomechanics of the missing biological leg. Unfortunately, existing powered prostheses are much heavier and

A Novel Framework to Facilitate User Preferred Tuning for a Robotic Knee Prosthesis
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023 The tuning of robotic prosthesis control is essential to provide personalized assistance to individual prosthesis users. Emerging automatic tuning algorithms have shown promise to ease the device personalization procedure.

PLoS ONE, 2022 While all lower limb prosthesis walkers have a high risk of tripping and/or falling, above knee prosthesis users are reported to fall more frequently. Recognising this, engineers designed microprocessor knees (MPK) to help mitigate these risks, but to ...
