Robotic prostheses can improve walking ability in persons with transfemoral amputations by closely matching kinetics and kinematics of the intact leg during walking. However, achieving this goal requires the prosthesis to adapt to walking speed, a function that no powered transfemoral prosthesis has yet achieved. In this paper, we present, and perform initial testing on a new control framework that...
We present a novel swing phase controller for powered transfemoral prostheses based on minimum jerk theory. The proposed controller allows physiologically appropriate swing movement at any walking speed, regardless of the stance controller action. Preliminary validation in a transfemoral amputee subject demonstrates that the proposed controller provides physiological swing timing, without speed-or...
