Swing-Assist for Enhancing Stair Ambulation in a Primarily-Passive Knee Prosthesis
J.T. Lee,M. Goldfarb,J.T. Lee,M. Goldfarb
This paper presents the design and implementation of a controller for stair ascent and descent in a primarily-passive stance-controlled swing-assist (SCSA) prosthesis. The prosthesis and controller enable users to perform both step-over and step-to stair ascent and descent. The efficacy of the controller and SCSA prosthesis prototype in providing improved stair ambulation was tested on a unilatera...
