In this paper after a brief review on previous studies on above knee prosthesis design, SEP prosthesis which has recently introduced considered. This prosthesis has modeled with fixed and moving ankle separately during the swing phase of walking...

prosthesis model with moving ankle during the swing phase represents acceptable results in comparison to natural behavior of shank and the fixed ankle model. Reported results in this paper represent 3.2 degrees as the maximum deviation of optimized model...

and the optimization procedure is genetic algorithm.

Modeling the prosthesis which comprises this new controlling parameter (SEP) during the swing phase represents acceptable results in comparison to natural behavior of shank. Reported results in this paper...
