Force Feedback Modulated Joint Control for Prosthetic Ankle
From: Medical Design Briefs - 04/01/2013

Prosthesis automatically adjusts gait, incline, and heel height.

The Magellan microprocessor foot/ankle (MFA) system, developed by Orthocare
Innovations, utilizes sophisticated, patented control schemes based on
real-time force feedback loops to increase efficiency and optimize a real
world gait. 

The Magellan MFA also utilizes the mobile device platform to allow users to
interface with their prosthetists, provide status reports for their device,
and communicate and describe discomfort and pain that may be indicative of
problems that, if addressed early, can prevent significant future injury.
