Dynamic Modeling of a 2-dof Cable Driven Powered Ankle-foot Prosthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first step to study and develop a two Degrees of Freedom (DOF) prosthesis is to derive a dynamic model for simulation and control design. In this paper, the ankle-foot prosthesis has controllable Dorsi-Plantarflexion (DP) and Inversion-Eversion (IE) DOF. We derive a compliant dynamic model for a recently developed ankle-foot prosthesis followed by identification of the actuators, transmission, and prosthetic foot parameters. The resulting model is then verified experimentally and in simulation. Dynamic decoupling of the actuators to the ankle’s DP and IE DOF is also investigated using Bode plots. The code used for simulating the prosthesis is provided on GitHub for the community.

Multi-axis Capability for Powered Ankle-Foot Prostheses
The ankle joint of lower extremity powered prostheses are generally designed to be capable of controlling a single degree of freedom (DOF) in the sagittal plane, allowing a focus on improved mobility in straight walking. However, the single DOF ankle movements are rare in normal lower limb actions such as walking on a straight path or turning when the ankle movements in both sagittal and fronta...
متن کاملA two-axis cable-driven ankle-foot mechanism
This paper describes a novel cable-driven ankle-foot mechanism with two controllable degrees of freedom (DOF) in dorsiflexion-plantarflexion (DP) and inversion-eversion (IE). The presented mechanism is a proof of concept to demonstrate feasibility. Ankle kinematic measurements demonstrate that ankle IE rotations during a step turn are significantly different from walking on a straight path. Thi...
متن کاملInitial Experimental Study on Dynamic Interaction Between an Amputee and a Powered Ankle-Foot Prostheses
Today, commercially available ankle-foot prostheses are completely passive, and consequently, their mechanical properties remain fixed with walking speed and terrain. Conversely, normal human ankle stiffness varies within each gait cycle and also with walking speed [1][2][3]. Furthermore, some studies have indicated that one of the main functions of the human ankle is to provide adequate energy...

Today, often ankle’s active prosthesis is used for transtibial amputated people’s walking, because these prostheses have some advantages such as increasing power and decreasing metabolism. In most of active prosthesis in order to create a movement or increase the force at the push-off, electrical actuators are used like a motor. In cases where a higher-power motor is necessary, the capacity, we...
متن کاملAnkle mechanics during sidestep cutting implicates need for 2-degrees of freedom powered ankle-foot prostheses.
The ankle joint of currently available powered prostheses is capable of controlling one degree of freedom (DOF), focusing on improved mobility in the sagittal plane. To increase agility, the requirements of turning in prosthesis design need to be considered. Ankle kinematics and kinetics were studied during sidestep cutting and straight walking. There were no significant differences between the...
