摘要：
A system and method associated with the movement of a limb. In one example, thesystem, such as a prosthetic or orthotic system, includes an actuator (116) thatactively controls, or adjusts, the angle between a foot unit (104) and a lowerlimb member (102). A processing module may control movement of the actuator (116)based on data obtained from a sensor module. For instance, sensing module datamay include information relating to the gait of a user and may be used to adjustthe foot unit to substantially mimic the movement of a natural, healthy ankle.The system may further accommodate, for example, level ground walking, travelingup/down stairs, traveling up/down sloped surfaces, and various other user movements.In addition, the processing module may receive user input or display output signalsthrough an external interface. For example, the processing module may receivea heel height input from the user.
