Riassunto (Italiano)
The present work analyse the mechanical model of a semi-active transtibial prosthesis and aims at verify its gait segmentation algorithms implemented in the middle-level controller. With the mechanical model it is possible to estimate the ankle angle. Moreover, an estimate of the energy delivered by the actuator on board can be found. The segmentation algorithms are 3, based respectively on the signals of an IMU, a sensorized foot and a load cell. The verification of the gait segmentation algorithms is done by analysing the delays and the estimated stance duration with respect to the force-platform reference.
