Abstract
In a control system for a lower limb prosthesis or orthosis, a plurality of sensors generate sensor signals representing kinematic measurements () relating to the movement of segments of a prosthesis or orthosis (e.g. a thigh segment and a shank segment). The sensor signals are applied in a comparison stageto a plurality of comparison steps (K, K, K) which produce binary outputs for feeding to a combining stage () in which a binary word () is produced, identifying a phase of limb motion. During a walking cycle, for instance, the binary word () changes, and the sequence of words represents a movement phase description which is used as the input for a prosthetic or orthotic movement controller.
