Prosthetic Exo-Leg: A functional robotic leg suit to assist patients with transfemoral amputation

Abstract

The Exoskeleton leg is built to enable amputee patients to walk, ascend stairs, sit, and do fundamental movements. For any basic movements, patients can control the robotic Exo-leg by the movements of their residual limbs concerning the position of lower limb amputation. Prosthetic Exo-leg has been constructed to support patients with transfemoral amputation cost-efficiently. Moreover, the machine consists of multi-functional features under prosthetic exoskeleton legs that will initially support the patients of lower limb amputation, more specifically transfemoral amputation. Enabling the E-leg to a wide range of users and a variety of applications requires the socket to be adaptable through kinematics and actuation. The performance test shows the change of major movement in standing and walking that is expected to improve through further patient training and rehabilitation.
