Advances in Powered Ankle-Foot Prostheses

Abstract: We present a review of recent developments in powered ankle-foot prostheses (PAFPs), with emphasis on actuation, high- and low-level control strategies, and pneumatic, hydraulic, and electromechanical actuators. A high-level control strategy based on finite-state machines, combined with low-level control that drives the ankle torque, is the most common control strategy. On the other hand, brushless direct-current motors along with an energy storage and release mechanism are commonly used to reduce the overall … Show more

“…Furthermore, the combination of vascular disease and aging also results in poor physical strength and balance, impaired neuromuscular coordination, and increased risk for falls. Consequently, it is of prime importance to prescribe an optimal/reliable prosthesis to maximize ambulation safety and restore the ability of older vascular amputees to independently perform physical tasks of daily living [7][8][9][10].…”

“…Finally, at the low-level, the device is actively controlled by following the received input. At this level, there is a direct tracking of the references used at higher levels (e.g., position or torque) [95]. Proportional integral (PI) and proportional integral derivative (PID) systems are commonly used [95] to change emulated stiffness and damping values of the prosthetic joints to create desired joint behavior.…”

“…The commercially available prosthetic feet that are most commonly prescribed do not permit automatic sagittal plane adjustment of the ankle angle and/or impedance while walking on slopes as they are passive nonarticulated, solid designs or include ankle articulations with fixed rotational resistance that return to a neutral orientation when unloaded. 9 A lack of controlled dorsiflexion range has been suggested as the cause of instability in prosthesis users when walking up slopes. 4,10 These limitations of commercial prosthetic feet can lead to compensatory gait patterns when walking on slopes, including increased knee flexion of the sound side 11 and residual limb 12 in early stance, decreased or absent hip extension of the sound side halfway through the gait cycle, 10 increased prosthetic side peak hip power, 12 and decreased walking speed.…”

“…To that end, when the biological ankle is lost due to transtibial amputation, that individual loses a crucial component of the volitional control necessary to adapt to sloped walking. The commercially available prosthetic feet that are most commonly prescribed do not permit automatic sagittal plane adjustment of the ankle angle and/or impedance while walking on slopes as they are passive nonarticulated, solid designs or include ankle articulations with fixed rotational resistance that return to a neutral orientation when unloaded 9 . A lack of controlled dorsiflexion range has been suggested as the cause of instability in prosthesis users when walking up slopes 4,10 .…”
