    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Robotics
    • Prosthetics and Orthotics

    Background:

    • Advanced lower-limb prostheses enable complex movements like stair ascent and walking on slopes.
    • Current prostheses lack automatic and seamless transitions between different locomotion modes.
    • Transfemoral amputees require intuitive control for natural gait and mobility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and train a high-level intent recognition system for powered lower-limb prostheses.
    • To enable natural and seamless transitions between five locomotion modes: walking, stair ascent, stair descent, ramp ascent, and ramp descent.
    • To improve the user experience and functionality of lower-limb prosthetics.

    Main Methods:

    • Collected steady-state and transition locomotion data from six transfemoral amputees using powered prostheses with onboard mechanical sensors.
    • Developed an intent recognition system utilizing mechanical sensor data.
    • Trained the system using both steady-state and seamless transition data across five locomotion modes.
    • Evaluated system accuracy using single analysis windows at heel contact and toe-off events.

    Main Results:

    • An intent recognition system using only steady-state data achieved 84.5% accuracy.
    • Incorporating seamless transition data during training improved accuracy to 93.9%.
    • A single analysis window at heel contact and toe-off yielded higher recognition accuracy compared to multiple windows.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed intent recognition system effectively provides automatic and natural transitions between five locomotion modes for transfemoral amputees.
    • Powered lower-limb prostheses with this system can significantly enhance mobility and user experience.
    • Mechanical sensor data is sufficient for accurate intent recognition in lower-limb prosthetics.
