Profile 1 Inertial Measurement Unit Adapted Forward Estimator
This study will be conducted on a sample population of individuals with transfemoral amputation. In the Profile 1 inertial measurement unit adapted forward estimator arm, each participant will test the prosthesis with an adapted control system using a foot inertial measurement unit with discrete treadmill speed profiles following a staircase profile. In this treadmill speed profile participants walk at discrete speeds of 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4 m/s. Each speed was maintained for 20 seconds before transitioning to the next speed at an acceleration of 0.1 meters per second squared.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 day

This outcome is the error with which the machine learning model embedded into our advanced prosthesis controller's microprocessor predicts the user's walking speed overground. Specifically, mean absolute error (MAE) is computed between the predicted walking speed and the ground truth walking speed, or the speed that the user is actually walking at. Ground truth measurements are measured by a motion-capture system and taken to be center of mass speed. Walking speed predictions are made every 50 ms and compared to the nearest center-of-mass speed. For this measure, lower walking speed MAEs are indicative of greater accuracy in defining the user's true walking speed and thus lower numbers are indicative of an improved outcome.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 day

This outcome is the error with which the machine learning model embedded into our advanced prosthesis controller's microprocessor predicts the user's walking speed on the treadmill. Specifically, mean absolute error (MAE) is computed between the predicted walking speed and the ground truth walking speed, or the speed that the user is actually walking at. Ground truth measurements are measured by the true treadmill speed (for treadmill trials). Walking speed predictions are made every 50 ms and compared to the nearest center-of-mass speed. For this measure, lower walking speed MAEs are indicative of greater accuracy in defining the user's true walking speed and thus lower numbers are indicative of an improved outcome.
