Abstract

In this paper we present the port-based model of WalkMECH, a fully-passive transfemoral prosthesis prototype that has been designed and realized for normal walking. The model has been implemented in a simulation environment so to analyze the performance of the prosthetic leg in walking experiments and so to enhance the mechanics of the system. The accuracy of the model has been validated by experimental tests with a unilateral amputee participant. © 2013 IEEE.
