Abstract
This paper presents the design and development of an electrical above knee prosthesis, which works as a passive knee prosthesis in part of gait cycle phases and as an active knee prosthesis during other portions. During the passive mode, the system works as a non-holonomic system, and the dynamic coupling between the thigh segment and the knee prosthesis is used to control the prosthesis. Therefore, this knee prosthesis is designed to be back-drivable in passive mode. In order to present a proper design for the knee prosthesis, the mechanism synthesis and analysis for the proposed back-drivable semi-active knee prosthesis are covered in this paper.
