Objective. Advanced robotic lower limb prostheses are mainly controlled autonomously.
Although the existing control can assist cyclic movements during locomotion of amputee …

For robotic transtibial prosthesis control, the global tibia kinematics can be used to monitor
gait cycle progression and command smooth and continuous actuation. In this work, these …

Non-volitional control, such as finite-state machine (FSM) impedance control, does not
directly incorporate user intent signals, while volitional control, like direct myoelectric control …

The use of an agonist-antagonist muscle pair for myoelectric control of a transtibial
prosthesis requires normalizing the myoelectric signals and identifying their co-contraction …

Individuals with transtibial amputation can activate residual limb muscles to volitionally
control robotic ankle prostheses for walking and postural control. Most continuous …

Intuitive control of powered prosthetic lower limbs is still an open-ended research goal.
Current controllers employ discrete locomotion modes for well-defined and frequently …

Existing robotic lower-limb prostheses use autonomous control to address cyclic, locomotive
tasks, but are inadequate in adapting to variations in non-cyclic and unpredictable tasks …

Methods Six individuals with transtibial amputation conducted four 30-second trials of quiet
standing for four standing conditions (Eyes Open, Eyes Closed, Eyes Open Foam, and Eyes …

Individuals with transtibial amputation can activate residual limb muscles to volitionally
control robotic ankle prostheses for walking and postural control. Most continuous …

Robotic hardware advances have enabled the development of powered lower limb
prostheses that could improve amputee mobility. However, limitations of prosthetic …
