    摘要: The invention relates to a method for controlling an orthopedic joint device (1) of a lower extremity comprising an upper part (2) and a lower part (3) mounted in articulated fashion thereon, with a conversion device (5) being arranged between said upper and lower parts, via which conversion device (5), during pivoting of the upper part (2) relative to the lower part (3), mechanical work from the relative movement is converted and is stored in at least one energy store (54) and supplied back to the joint device (1) with a time offset in order to assist the relative movement, wherein the stored energy is converted back and the supply of mechanical work takes place in a controlled manner during the assistance of the relative movement.

    摘要: A damping control method for lower-limb prosthesis, which includes the following steps: Isolate the driving motor of the main transmission structure from the driving voltage; The motor is driven to rotate by the force that results from the locomotion of human's CoM (Center of Mass), and generates alternating induced voltage, when the motor behaves as a generator; Connect the output terminals of the motor with a full-bridge rectification circuit that is made of Schottky diodes to transform the alternating induced voltage to direct-current voltage; Connect the output terminals of the rectification circuit with a controlled switch such as transistors or MOSFETs to form a closed circuit, which will generate induced current from the induced voltage; Control the on-off ratio of the switch with the Pulse-Width-Modulation (PWM) signal to generate controllable motor current, which will result in controllable braking torque under the magnet field of the motor. This invention can be widely applied to prosthesis control.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for harvesting energy from motion of one or more joints. Energy harvesters comprise: an energy converter for converting mechanical energy into corresponding electrical energy; one or more sensors for sensing one or more corresponding characteristics associated with motion of the one or more joints; and a controller connected to receive the one or more sensed characteristics and configured to assess, based at least in part on the one or more sensed characteristics, whether motion of the one or more joints is associated with mutualistic conditions or non-mutualistic conditions. If conditions are determined to be mutualistic, energy harvesting is engaged. If conditions are determined to be non-mutualistic, energy harvesting is disengaged.
