We present a highly functional and cost-effective prosthesis for transfemoral amputees that uses series elastic actuators. These actuators allow for accurate force control, low impedance and large dynamic range. The design involves one active joint at the knee and a passive joint at the ankle. Additionally, the socket was designed using mirroring of compliances to ensure maximum comfort.
