摘要: A control procedure is proposed for an ankle-foot-orthosis (AFO) different gait situations, such as inclinations and stairs. This paper presents a novel AFO of the ankle angle. magneto-rheological damper was used to achieve damping during foot down locking at swing, thereby avoiding slap well drop. The controller feedback from angle only. Still it capable not only adjusting within step but also changing behavior depending on level walking, ascending descending As consequence, toe strike possible in stair opposed heel walking. Tests verified expected walking where speed ground varied. self-adjusted believed improve comfort slopes
