Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 1 | (a) Three computational models starting from the left, Able-Bodied, Ideal Prosthesis, and Full Prosthesis, using different kinematics reference inputs (able-body and amputee) to produce the gait's dynamics. For the preliminary results of the study, the models solely represent the leg of an individual during the swing phase and use data from [27] as the reference input. (b) Prosthetic Knee Model designed in SIMSCAPE MULTIBODY and its description, the yellow segment is fixed to the thigh, and the blue segment rotates about point A. Points B and C are connected by a spring and damper, the natural position of the knee has the two segments perpendicular to each other.
Article Snippet: These models provide the joint kinetics outputs O1, O2, and O3, respectively, required for achieving able- bodied gait as conceptually depicted in Figure 1a The results of this paper were obtained by models developed in the SIMSCAPE MULTIBODY environment in MATLAB SIMULINK (R2021a, The MathWorks, Natick, MA).
