Abstract (EN): Each year thousands of people lose their lower limbs, mainly due to three causes: wars, accidents and vascular diseases. The development of prostheses is crucial to improve the quality of millions of people's lives by restoring their mobility. Lower limb prostheses can be divided into three major groups: passive, semi-active or variable damping and powered or intelligent. This contribution provides a literature review of the principal control strategies used in lower limb prostheses, i.e., the controllers used in energetically powered transfemoral and transtibial prostheses. We present a comparison of the presented literature review and the future trends of this important field. It is concluded that the use of bio-inspired concepts and continuous control combined with the other control approaches can be crucial in the improvement of prosthesis controllers, enhancing the quality of amputee's lives.
