摘要：
Systems and methods for a prosthetic device with multiple levels of functionality enabled through multiple control systems. The microprocessor-controlled prosthetic device stores a plurality of programmable control systems, such as a beginner control system, an intermediate control system, and an advanced control system. Based on a medical professional's assessment, the prosthetic device is programmed to operate under a programmable control system suitable to the capability level of the amputee. The microprocessor-controlled prosthetic device can be re-programmed to operate under another programmable control system as the capability level of the amputee changes. A new amputee should operate under a beginner control system, which provides high stability and low functionality. The high stability, low functionality combination provides high predictability, which helps the new amputee build confidence and trust in the prosthetic. As the amputee's capability progresses, increased functionality is provided in the intermediate and advanced control systems.
