Systems and methods for sensing actuating a prosthetic ankle are disclosed. In one example, the system, such as an actuated prosthetic ankle joint, detects that the user has moved to a relaxed position, such as sitting, reclining, crawling, or leaning. In response, the actuated prosthetic ankle joint actively adjusts the angle between the members of the ankle to a relaxed state. The system may further detect when the user has moved to exit the relaxed position, and may actively adjust the angle between the members of the ankle to an exit state.

1. A prosthetic system comprising: a prosthetic ankle joint comprising: a foot unit; anda lower limb member operatively coupled to the foot unit and movable in relation thereto by a pivoting motion;an actuator configured to power the pivoting motion;a sensor module configured to measure variables relating to the prosthetic system; anda controller configured to process data received from the sensor module and control adjustments of the angle between the foot unit and the lower limb member according to a plurality of predefined states, wherein the control system is configured to determine adjustments during a transition from a first state to a second state,wherein when a user of the prosthetic system is in a relaxed position the controller is configured to cause the actuator to power a pivoting motion causing the prosthetic system to plantarflex, andwherein the controller is configured to actively power the pivoting motion to provide a decrease in angle between the foot unit and the lower limb member such that the foot unit becomes more dorsiflexed relative to the lower limb member, while exiting a relaxed position, based on receiving data from the sensor module indicative of a user of the prosthetic system exiting a relaxed position. 2. The prosthetic system of claim 1, wherein the relaxed position relates to when a user is in a sitting position. 3. The prosthetic system of claim 2, wherein power is temporarily suspended or decreased when a user is in a sitting position. 4. The prosthetic system of claim 2, wherein the system causes the movement into a maximum plantarflexion position when a user is in a sitting position. 5. The prosthetic system of claim 1, wherein the actuator actively adjusts the angle between the foot unit and the lower limb member. 6. A prosthetic system comprising: a prosthetic ankle joint comprising:a foot unit; anda lower limb member operatively coupled to the foot unit and movable in relation thereto by a pivoting motion;an actuator configured to actively power the pivoting motion during at least one or more portions of a user's gait cycle;one or more sensors configured to measure one or more variables relating to the prosthetic system; anda controller configured to process data received from the one or more sensors, wherein the controller is configured to control the actuator based on data received from the one or more sensors;wherein when the user of the prosthetic system is in or has moved toward a relaxed position, an angle between the foot unit and the lower limb member is configured to be increased by the actuator applying a force, such that the foot unit becomes more plantarflexed relative to the lower limb member; andwherein the controller is configured to control the actuator to actively power the pivoting motion to provide a decrease in angle between the foot unit and the lower limb member such that the foot unit becomes more dorsiflexed relative to the lower limb member, while exiting a relaxed position, based on receiving data from the one or more sensors indicative of a user of the prosthetic system exiting a relaxed position. 7. The prosthetic system of claim 6, wherein the controller is configured to determine when the user is in a position indicative of a relaxed state based on data received from the one or more sensors. 8. The prosthetic system of claim 6, wherein the angle between the foot unit and the lower limb member is configured to be increased when the user of the prosthetic system is in the relaxed position by actively powering the pivoting motion to adjust the angle between the foot unit and the lower limb member using the actuator. 9. The prosthetic system of claim 6, wherein the controller is configured to assist the increase in the angle between the foot unit and the lower limb member based on receiving the data from the one or more sensors indicative of when the user of the prosthetic system is in the relaxed position. 10. The prosthetic system of claim 9, wherein the controller is configured to control the actuator to actively increase the angle between the foot unit and the lower limb member based on receiving the data from the one or more sensors indicative of when the user of the prosthetic system is in the relaxed position. 11. The prosthetic system of claim 9, wherein the controller is configured to control dampening between the foot unit and the lower limb member. 12. The prosthetic system of claim 6, wherein the controller is configured to process data received from the one or more sensors and control the angle between the foot unit and the lower limb member according to a plurality of predefined states, wherein the controller comprises transition logic configured to determine a transition from a first state to a second state. 13. The prosthetic system of claim 6, wherein the relaxed position relates to when a user is in a sitting position. 14. The prosthetic system of claim 6, wherein the controller is configured to transition to a low power state wherein power is temporarily suspended or decreased based on receiving the data from the one or more sensors indicative of the user of the prosthetic system being in a relaxed position. 15. The prosthetic system of claim 6, wherein the one or more sensors comprises an accelerometer. 16. The prosthetic system of claim 6 , wherein exiting a relaxed position relates to when a user is standing up from a sitting position.
