Abstract

From past few decades prosthetics is aiding in improving the life style of the amputees. The major aspect of concern in the existing prosthetic technology is controlling the speed of the prosthetic leg. The stance phase control of prosthetic can be achieved, but it is found to fail at varying speeds. This works concentrates on the pathway to control and vary the torques of the prosthetic leg using the Bluetooth interface. The programmed Aurdino is connected to a Bluetooth of the smart device and can be operated at varying speeds thus overcoming the identified drawback. An algorithm for developed process is also generated for effective understanding and application
