Proportional EMG Control of Ankle Plantar Flexion in a Powered Transtibial Prosthesis

The human calf muscle generates 80% of the mechanical work to walk throughout stance-phase, powered plantar flexion. Powered plantar flexion is not only important for walking energetics, but also to minimize the impact on the leading leg at heel-strike. For unilateral transtibial amputees, it has re...
