In order to help those people, the team at <strong>HuMoTech<\/strong> created an <strong>robotic ankle-foot prosthesis<\/strong> that can accurately reproduce a large variety of prosthetic ankle behaviors, including increased push-off.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The prosthesis provides <strong>controllable torque<\/strong> about the ankle axis. The keel portion of the device is controlled by an <strong>external actuator unit,<\/strong> while a passive heel spring provides <strong>compliance in the early stance phase<\/strong> of the walking cycle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The control signals for the<strong> high-performance torque control<\/strong> are determined using the actual torque applied at the ankle prosthesis together with the prosthesis joint angle. The <strong>Speedgoat Performance real-time target machine<\/strong> measures such, torque and angle, using real-time measurements from a load cell and an encoder, respectively, and computes motor commands to regulate ankle joint impedance. Further information will be\u00a0shown in the video.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep sep-none\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"max-width:1200px;max-height:600px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EHPTBaFaetk?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":17764,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","myguten_meta_block_field":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17758"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17758\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/strammer.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
