Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for testing electronic control units of airbag protection devices. The method comprises the steps of: a) providing a dataset (D) representing simulated movements in a space defined by three axes (X, Y, Z); b) filtering the linear acceleration measurements (Ax, Ay, Az) of said dataset (D) to remove low frequencies; c) uploading on the electronic control unit to be tested an activation algorithm capable of identifying a danger situation for the user; d) programming the electronic control unit to be tested to send and/or internally record an activation signal when the activation algorithm identifies a danger situation; e) moving the electronic control unit within a three-dimensional workspace (W) to replicate said dataset (D) as filtered in step b); f) verifying if an activation signal is sent and/or internally recorded by the electronic control unit when the activation algorithm identifies a danger situation.

Abstract: A prosthetic ankle-foot device, in particular of the biomimetic type, includes: a tibia element; a talus element movably connected to the tibia element through a first talocrural joint having a first hinge joint; a calcaneus element movably connected to the talus element through a second subtalar joint having a second hinge joint; a medial metatarsal element movably connected to the calcaneus element through a third medial midtarsal joint, the third joint having a third hinge joint; a lateral metatarsal element movably connected to the calcaneus element through a fourth lateral midtarsal joint, the fourth joint having a fourth hinge joint; a medial phalanx element movably connected to the medial metatarsal element through a fifth medial metatarsophalangeal joint, the fifth joint having a fifth hinge joint; a lateral phalanx element movably connected to the lateral metatarsal element through a sixth lateral metatarsophalangeal joint, the sixth joint having a sixth hinge joint; an elastic actuation element havi
