In this study, we present the conceptual design of a fully-passive transfemoral prosthesis. The proposed design is inspired by the analysis of the musculo-skeletal activity of the healthy human leg. In order to realize an energy efficient device, we introduce three storage elements, which are responsible of the energetic coupling between the knee and the ankle joints. Simulation results show that the power storage of the designed conceptual prosthesis is comparable with the human gait.
在本研究中，我们展示了一种全被动式经股假肢的概念设计。所提出的设计灵感来源于对健康人腿部肌肉骨骼活动的分析。为了实现一种节能装置，我们引入了三个存储元件，它们负责膝关节和踝关节之间的能量耦合。仿真结果表明，所设计的概念假肢的能量存储与人类步态相当。
