Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Walking task prediction in powered leg prostheses is an important problem in the development of biomimetic prosthesis controllers. This paper proposes a novel method to predict upcoming walking tasks by estimating the translational motion of leg joints using an integrated inertial measurement unit.
