| Abstract | A Portable Powered Ankle-Foot Orthosis (PPAFO) has been designed for gait assistance. The PPAFO can supply assistive torque at the ankle joint in plantarflexion and dorsiflexion using a bidirectional pneumatic actuator. Two control schemes have been developed to regulate timings of the assistive torques during different phases in the gait cycle. The Direct Event (DE) controller uses heel and toe force sensors to detect the start and end of key phases using specific events (e.g., heel strike and toe-off). The State Estimation (SE) controller finds the least-square-error between real-time sensor data and a reference model from training data to estimate the gait state and to detect phases based on this estimate. A pneumatic recycling scheme for improved fuel efficiency was also implemented. This scheme regenerates energy from plantarflexion exhaust gas to power dorsiflexion actuation. The objective of this study was to assess the fuel efficiency of these two controllers and pneumatic recycling scheme, as measured by fuel consumption and work output. Data were collected from 3 minute walking trials with the PPAFO by five healthy young control subjects. The SE with recycling (SER) scheme had an average fuel savings of 25% compared to the SE control scheme, and 24% compared to the DE controller. The SER controller allowed for comparable net work output to the SE controller which both did more net work than the DE controller. These observations can be applicable to other portable fluid-powered orthotics, prosthetics, and robotics in terms of potential impact of controller choice and energy regeneration on fuel consumption. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
