Realizing the potential of active lower-limb pros-theses to increase user mobility and efficiency requires safe, reliable, stable, and intuitive control strategies. The two prevailing classes of lower-limb prosthesis control can be categorized as volitional and non-volitional. Volitional control strategies (VCs) directly sense the user’s intentions, but this generally intuitive approach can be qui...
