A Swing-Assist Controller for Enhancing Knee Flexion in a Semi-Powered Transfemoral Prosthesis by David M. Marsh, Marco Puliti, Michael Goldfarb

“…This work proposes a new swing controller for semi-powered low impedance transfemoral prostheses that resolves the issue of potentially competing inputs between artificial assistive power and user-sourced power. Rather than add power as an exogeneous input, the control approach uses power to modify the homogeneous portion of the shank dynamics, and therefore need not construct or curate an input that is coordinated with user input. …”
