This paper describes a running controller for a powered knee and ankle prosthesis. The running controller was implemented on a powered prosthesis prototype and evaluated by a transfemoral amputee subject running on a treadmill at a speed of 2.25 m/s (5.0 mph). The ability of the prosthesis and controller to provide the salient features of a running gait was assessed by comparing the kinematics of running provided by the powered prosthesis to the averaged kinematics of five healthy subjects running at the same speed. This comparison indicates that the powered prosthesis and running controller are able to provide essential features of a healthy running gait.
本文描述了一种用于电动膝关节和踝关节假肢的跑步控制器。该跑步控制器在电动假肢原型上实现,并由一名经股骨截肢的受试者在跑步机上以2.25米/秒(5.0英里/小时)的速度跑步进行评估。通过将电动假肢提供的跑步运动学与五名健康受试者以相同速度跑步的平均运动学进行比较,评估了假肢和控制器提供跑步步态显著特征的能力。这种比较表明,电动假肢和跑步控制器能够提供健康跑步步态的基本特征。
