This paper examines the problem of constructing a predictive and process control model based on telemetry data for a class of bionic prostheses that adapt to the patient’s gait by varying the knee joint torque. The paper presents the results of applying a Markov model of the dynamic process of telemetry data processing, using heuristically introduced indicator functions-states, generally recognized in the analysis of gait biomechanics. The approach describes a complex dynamic process in a compact and easily trainable form, enabling the implementation of patient-adapted prosthesis control systems. The matrix form of the model, derived from a statistically substantiated individual operating history, enables predictive prosthesis control.
