Stance phase control of above-knee prostheses: knee control versus SACH foot design.
The mobility of above-knee amputees (A/K) is limited, in part, due to the performance of A/K prostheses during the stance phase. Currently stance phase control of most conventional A/K prostheses can only be achieved through leg alignment and choice of the SACH (Solid Ankle Cushioned Heel) foot. This paper examines the role of the knee controller in relation to a SACH foot during the stance pha...
متن کاملEngineering design review of stance-control knee-ankle-foot orthoses.
Persons with quadriceps muscle weakness are often prescribed a knee-ankle-foot orthosis that locks the knee in full extension during both stance and swing phases of gait. Locking the knee results in abnormal gait patterns characterized by hip hiking and leg circumduction during swing. The stance-control knee-ankle-foot orthosis (SCKAFO), a new type of orthosis, has emerged that permits free kne...
متن کاملDesign and functional evaluation of a quasi-passive compliant stance control knee-ankle-foot orthosis.
In this paper, we present the mechanical design, control algorithm, and functional evaluation of a quasi-passive compliant stance control knee-ankle-foot orthosis. The orthosis implements a spring in parallel with the knee joint during the stance phase of the gait and allows free rotation during the swing phase. The design is inspired by the moment-angle analysis of the knee joint revealing tha...
متن کاملPrescription of above-knee and below-knee prostheses.
New developments in socket design, materials and fabrication are briefly reviewed. A series of charts is presented which summarize the below-knee and above-knee prescription procedures followed at the Veterans Administration Prosthetics Center.
متن کاملController Design for a Stance-control Knee-ankle-foot Orthosis based on Optimization Techniques
Design of active orthosis is a challenging problem from both the dynamic simulation and control points of view. The redundancy problem of the simultaneous human-orthosis actuation is an interesting exercise to solve concerning the analytical and computational cost effectiveness. The physiological static optimization approach tries to solve the actuation sharing problem. Its objective is to quan...
