Intent Recognition for Prosthesis Control

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Amputation

In brief

This work will focus on new algorithms for powered prostheses and testing these in human subject tests. Individuals with above knee amputation will walk with a robotic prosthesis and ambulate over terrain that simulates community ambulation. The investigators will compare the performance of the advanced algorithm with the robotic system that does not use an advanced algorithm.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 75. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• A unilateral amputation of the lower limb
• Aged between 18 to 75 years, inclusive
• K3 or K4 level ambulators who can perform all locomotor tasks of interest (based on assessment of the physiatrist and/or prosthetist)
• If a prosthesis is used, the participant must use a prosthetic knee and foot in their clinically prescribed prosthesis.

You may not qualify if…

• Individuals with history of neurological injury, gait pathology, or cardiovascular condition that would limit ability to ambulate for multiple hours
• Individuals who are currently pregnant (based on patient self-report) due to slight risk of falling during experiments

Where it is running
