LVQ based speed adaptive swing and stance phase detection: An alternate to Foot Switch
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel method for stance and swing phase detection employing Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ), using knee angle information only. The results show detection accuracy of 95.9% in stance phase and 83.9% in swing phase. The research concludes an efficient replacement of footswitch for phase detection. The work can directly lead to low cost speed adaptive transtibial prosthesis where the knee angle measurement can be used to decide the damping in the prosthesis.

Design and Evaluation of an Articulated Ankle Foot Orthosis with Plantarflexion Resistance on the Gait: a Case Series of 2 Patients with Hemiplegia
Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) have been described to have positive effects on the gait biomechanics in stroke patients. The plantarflexion resistance of an AFO is considered important for hemiplegic patients, but the evidence is still limited. The purpose of this case series was to design and evaluate the immediate effect of an articulated AFO on kinematics and kinetics of lower-limb joints in str...

Human foot motion localization based on Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor especially in large environments has many potential applications such as search and rescue in fire or in emergency, navigation for visitor and security purposes, etc. However, current existing algorithms are so far from practical applications. Because they usually apply a fixed threshold for human gait phase detectio...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of functional electrical stimulation (FES) to ankle dorsiflexor (DF) and ankle plantarflexor (PF) on kinematic and kinetic parameters of hemiplegic gait. METHODS Fourteen post-stroke hemiplegic patients were considered in this study. Electrical stimulation was delivered to ankle DF during the swing phase and ankle PF during the stance phase via single foot sw...

Two computer-controlled devices for leg rehabilitation are presented: 1) an external knee prosthesis for trans-femoral amputees; and 2) a force-controllable ankle-foot orthosis to assist individuals suffering from drop-foot, a gait pathology resulting from muscle weakness in ankle dorsiflexors. Here muscle-like actuators and biologically-inspired control schemes are employed to enhance patient ...
متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of a Magnetorheological Damper Based Prosthetic Knee
In this work, a magnetorheological (MR) damper based above-knee prosthesis is design and evaluated based on its performance in swing phase and in stance phase. Initially, a dynamic system model for swing phase of a prosthetic leg incorporating a single-axis knee with ideal MR damper was built. The dynamic properties of the damper are represented with Bingham parametric model. From Bingham model...
