Configuring a powered knee and ankle prosthesis for transfemoral amputees within five specific ambulation modes.

Configuring a powered knee and ankle prosthesis for transfemoral amputees within five specific ambulation modes.

Lower limb prostheses that can generate net positive mechanical work may restore more ambulation modes to amputees. However, configuration of these devices imposes an additional burden on clinicians relative to conventional prostheses; devices for transfemoral amputees that require configuration of...
