Powered knee prosthesis commonly improves locomotion of above-knee amputees by generating net positive mechanical work at the knee joint which is especially required for movements with active knee extension and flexion such as sit-to-stand maneuvers, level-ground walking with various walking speed, stair/slope ascent ambulation and so forth. These studies tend to refer and trace normal human locom...
