Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for operating a joint of a prosthesis during a phase of stance. In an embodiment, a method for such operation comprises determining a joint angle of the joint, determining a walking speed of the prosthesis, retrieving a torque value from a lookup table stored in a memory, on the basis of the joint angle and the walking speed, and initiating a signal to apply a torque to the joint of the prosthesis in an amount based on the torque value.
