    摘要： In one aspect, the invention provides methods and apparatus facilitating an adjustable-stiffness prosthesis or orthosis (including approximations to arbitrarily definable non-linear spring functions). Spring rates may be varied under no-load conditions during a walking gate cycle to minimize power consumption. In another aspect, the invention provides methods and apparatus for outputting positive power from a prosthesis or orthosis, facilitating high-performance artificial limbs. In one embodiment of the invention, the positive power is transferred from a functioning muscle to the prosthesis or orthosis, which mimics or assists a non-functioning or impaired muscle. In another embodiment of the invention, the positive power comes from an on-board power source in the prosthesis or orthosis.

    摘要： The invention is directed to a prosthesis which includes first and second members pivotally coupled together and two links which are pivotally coupled together with one link being pivotally coupled to the first member and the other link being pivotally coupled the second member. A control mechanism is provided which is pivotally coupled to the first member and the pivotal connection of the two links to move the two links and hence the second member relative to the first member. The first member may be coupled to a person to allow the prosthesis to serve in one embodiment as an arm or as a portion of an arm and in another embodiment to serve as a leg or as a portion of a leg.

    摘要： The invention relates to an automated speed-adaptive and patient-adaptive control scheme and system for a knee prosthesis. The control scheme and system utilizes sensory information measured local to the prosthesis to automatically adjust stance and swing phase knee resistances to a particular wearer under a wide variety of locomotory activities. Advantageously, no patient-specific information needs to be pre-programmed into the prosthetic knee by a prosthetist or the patient. The system is able to adapt to various types of disturbances once the patient leaves the prosthetist's facility because it is patient-adaptive and speed-adaptive.

    摘要： A neural prosthesis has a generator of electrical pulses, the pulses having a sine wave shape with frequency greater than 5 kHz, which may be amplitude modulated with a modulator, a blocking electrode for delivery of the electrical pulses to the neuron of the human nerve, the blocking electrode being electrically connected to the generator; and a controller operatively connected to the generator, the controller including an input for receiving control inputs, a control circuit responsive to the control inputs, and an output line responsive to the control circuit for sending output signals, the output signals of the controller including at least a start signal and a stop signal for controlling the generator. A method of controlling human nerve activity in a human body, the method comprising the step of applying electrical pulses to a neuron of a human nerve, the pulses being characterized by having a sine waveform and frequency over 5000 kHz such that, upon application of the pulses to a first site on the neuron, propagation of action potentials in the neuron is blocked at the first site. The neural prosthesis is used with a sensor having output representative of human body activity, such as body movement, muscle activity or nerve activity. For the prevention of an initial action potential, an initial pulse may be delivered with greater amplitude or different shape than subsequent pulses.

    摘要： An auto-adjusting prosthetic ankle apparatus includes a base portion that is pivotally fixed to an attachment portion. The base portion is structured for being fixed to a foot blade, while the attachment portion is structured for fixing the prosthetic ankle apparatus to a lower leg portion of a prosthetic limb. The prosthetic ankle includes a computer controllable damping mechanism that is functionally and mechanically coupled between the base portion and the attachment portion. The damping mechanism enables a damping level to be selectively applied to lightly damp or heavily damp a relative motion between the base portion and the attachment portion as a user is walking to provide an auto-adjusting of the prosthetic ankle to changes in a ground surface being traversed and during various stages of a walking cycle.
