Development and Implementation of Energy-Efficient Magnetorheological Fluid Bypass Damper for Prosthetics Limbs Using a Fuzzy-Logic Controller

Walking behaviour in amputees with lower-limb loss is absent from shock-absorbing properties. A damper can be used to reduce the impact of ground reaction force (GRF) during heel strikes. Magnetorheological fluid (MRF) damper is deemed the best option for this application as it includes the advantag...
