Zusammenfassung:	A powered prosthetic or orthotic device (POD) having gait controls is disclosed. The POD may include a control system that modifies the POD's gait controls based on the activity of the user. For example, the POD may have specific gait controls for a slow walk activity, and different gait controls for a fast walk activity. Each activity may have one or more phases and one or more subphases. For example, a standing-up activity may include a stance phase and may include an extension and braking subphase. The POD may modify the gait controls based on the phase and sub-phase of the activity. Thus, the behavior of the POD may be improved for the current activity of the user and may provide mobility, safety, and support in a variety of different terrains and tasks.
