Abstract

This paper provides guidelines to estimate the kinematics, energy and torque requirements for lower limb prosthetic actuation systems during daily living activities. These parameters are estimated based on human biomechanical data from different sources to consider the variability due to the assumptions and errors in the analysis and data collection. The results showed that the powered actuation source is important at the ankle joint in the stance phase during level ground walking while it is more important at knee joint during stair ascending. These estimated parameters can be used as guidelines to design and select proper actuation systems.
