1. A control system for a prosthetic device comprising:

  • at least one sensor module comprising at least one inertial measurement unit adapted to detect user input and to generate at least one body input signal based on the detected user input, the at least one inertial measurement unit comprising at least one accelerometer;

    at least one device module including a central processing unit and having at least one prosthetic control mode, the at least one device module being in communication with the at least one sensor module; and

    at least one actuator of the prosthetic device configured to receive commands from the at least one device module,wherein the at least one device module receives the at least one body input signal from the at least one sensor module and commands the at least one actuator in accordance with the at least one body input signal,wherein the at least one sensor module sends body input signals to the at least one device module according to the accelerations detected by the at least one accelerometer and the at least one device module detects user walking based at least on the body input signals, andwherein the at least one device module stops sending commands to the at least one actuator of the prosthetic device when user walking is detected.
