Design of a Semi-Active Prosthetic Knee for Transfemoral Amputees: Gait Symmetry Research by Simulation

Design of a Semi-Active Prosthetic Knee for Transfemoral Amputees: Gait Symmetry Research by Simulation

The key technology of the prosthetic knee is to simulate the torque and angle of the biological knee. In this work, we proposed a novel prosthetic knee operated in semi-active mode. The structure with ball-screw driven by the motor and the passive hydraulic damping cylinder was presented. A four-bar...
