Achieving stable walking and proper assistance in prosthesis control requires synchronized control, treating the user and the prosthesis as a coupled system. Furthermore, speed adaptability is essential for controlling the prosthesis at different walking speeds. One approach involves using a phase v
The toe joint has been studied since it plays a critical role in human ambulation, such as stability, energy storage and propulsion. Despite its critical role, only a few studies have used and tested toe-jointed feet in powered prosthetic walking. In previous studies, we proposed 3D printable prosth
For amputees, walking on sloped surfaces is one of the most challenging tasks in their daily lives. Unfortunately, designing a prosthesis that can effectively adapt to varying terrain is an ongoing problem. In this paper, we propose a unified control scheme that enables a powered transfemoral prosth…
Powered transfemoral prostheses are robotic systems that aim to restore the mobility of transfemoral amputees by mimicking the functionalities of healthy human legs. The advantage of using a powered prosthetic device is the enhanced performance on various terrains. One of the most frequent terrain f…
