Design, Optimization and Energetic Evaluation of an Efficient Fully Powered Ankle-Foot Prosthesis With a Series Elastic Actuator

The use of powered ankle-foot prostheses for below-knee amputees leads to challenges like the peak power of the applied actuator and biomechanical features of the prosthesis foot. This paper proposes an efficient powered ankle-foot prosthesis with a series elastic actuator. By combining the geared f...
