Modelo de Sistema de Control de Prótesis de Rodilla Transfemoral para un Ciclo de Marcha

this paper presents the design of a model for the control system of a knee prosthesis, in a cycle of human gait. the model is simulated through computational tools such as simulink and simmechanics, in this case, considering the biomechanical model of the pendulum double as a representation of the human leg and based on the parameters of the anthropometric. through the analysis and study of human walking normal develops a method of control and identification of the phases of the cycle of human gait, to act in the articulation of the knee with use of a transfemoral prosthesis. among the major findings, it emphasizes the achievement of a precise control of the position during the flexion of the knee, which gives it a development of the process of progress with the prosthesis very similar to the normal running.
