Figure Legend:
Powered transfemoral prosthesis, including: (1) knee, (2) motor revolute joint, (3) axial load cell, (4) motor, (5) ball nut revolute joint, (6) ball screw, (7) knee revolute joint and potentiometer, (8) tibia pylon, (9) pyramid connector, and (10) prosthetic foot. The inset shows the limb positioned at various angles of flexion: 0°, 30°, and 90°. Mechanical stops limit the range of motion.

Figure Legend:
Knee specifications transformed to rectified actuator-space requirements. The recommended actuator operation region is bounded by a combination of the maximum motor speed (dark) and the motor’s nominal power of 150 W (light). The dashed line bounds the peak motor output at its nominal voltage of 48 V. Average strides of normal walking, stair ascent, stair descent, and sit-stand are shown as scatter plots.
