Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Technology
  • Prosthetics and Orthotics

Background:

  • Computerized and powered lower limb prostheses offer amputees advanced mobility.
  • Current controllers struggle with seamless transitions between different locomotion modes like stairs and slopes.
  • Improved intent recognition is crucial for natural prosthesis control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate intent recognition interfaces for smoother transitions in lower limb prostheses.
  • To investigate the use of sensor signals and time history for enhanced locomotion mode recognition.
  • To propose and validate a dynamic Bayesian network for prosthesis control.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized mechanical sensor signals from powered prostheses.
  • Employed a dynamic Bayesian network to integrate historical and current sensor data.
  • Tested the system with six transfemoral amputees performing various locomotion tasks (level walking, stairs, ramps).

Main Results:

  • The dynamic Bayesian network approach significantly reduced steady-state misclassifications by over half (p < 0.01).
  • Incorporating time history information did not negatively impact intent recognition during transitions.
  • The method demonstrated enhanced locomotion mode intent recognition performance.

Conclusions:

  • Including time history information across the gait cycle improves locomotion mode intent recognition.
  • This approach holds promise for developing more natural and responsive lower limb prostheses.
  • Further development could lead to advanced control strategies for amputee mobility.
