Application of angular rate gyroscopes for the analysis of swing phase control in transfemoral amputee gait

Application of angular rate gyroscopes for the analysis of swing phase control in transfemoral amputee gait

Microprocessor controlled knee prostheses require expertise and programming skill to setup the swing phase damping performance for different walking speeds. There is a lack of suitable sensing and analysis means to quantify control performance and assist the setup process thereby hindering the devel...
