A Swing-Assist Controller for Enhancing Knee Flexion in a Semi-Powered Transfemoral Prosthesis

A Swing-Assist Controller for Enhancing Knee Flexion in a Semi-Powered Transfemoral Prosthesis

A Swing-Assist Controller for Enhancing Knee Flexion in a Semi-Powered Transfemoral Prosthesis 789 444 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
This work proposes a new swing controller for semi-powered low impedance transfemoral prostheses that resolves the issue of potentially competing inputs between artificial assistive power and user-sourced power. Rather than… read more

Controlling Powered Prosthesis Kinematics Over Continuous Inter-Leg Transitions Between Walking and Stair Ascent/Descent

Controlling Powered Prosthesis Kinematics Over Continuous Inter-Leg Transitions Between Walking and Stair Ascent/Descent 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Although powered prosthetic legs have enabled more biomimetic joint kinematics during steady-state activities like walking and stair climbing, transitions between these activities are usually handled by discretely switching controllers without… read more

Performance Evaluation of Lower Limb Exoskeletons: A Systematic Review

Author(s)3: David Pinto-Fernandez, Diego Torricelli, Maria del Carmen Sanchez-Villamanan, Felix Aller, Katja Mombaur, Roberto Conti, Nicola Vitiello, Juan C. Moreno, Jose Luis Pons
Performance Evaluation of Lower Limb Exoskeletons: A Systematic Review 776 655 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Benchmarks have long been used to verify and compare the readiness level of different technologies in many application domains. In the field of wearable robots, the lack of a recognized benchmarking methodology is one important impediment that may hamper the efficient translation of research prototypes into actual products. read more
