Summary

This study aims to make powered prosthetic legs for above-knee amputees move more naturally by using machine learning to model how healthy joints work. Researchers will test the new control system in 40 participants, including both able-bodied individuals and those with amputations. The goal is to improve tasks like walking, climbing stairs, and standing up, making the prosthetic feel more like a real leg.
