Description
LOWER LIMB PROSTHESIS.- Importance of Increasing the Functionality of Lower Limb Prostheses.- Normalization of the Gait Characteristics as a Means to Increase a Prosthesis's Functionality.- Lower Limb Prosthesis as Biotechnical System.- BIOMECHANICS OF NORMAL GAIT AND CRITERIA OF THE ANTHROPOMORPHICITY OF PROSTHESIS.- Methods of Gait Analysis.- Ballistic Gait in Norm.- BALLISTIC GAIN ON PROSTHESIS.- Active and Passive Moments In Joints.- Model of the Step Cycle.- Compensatory Synergy During Gait on Prosthesis.- Modeling of One-Leg Balancing.- THEORY OF DESIGNING THE ANTHROPOMORPHIC LOWER LIMB PROSTHESES.- Synthesis of a Mechanism of Artificial Prosthetic Joint.- Development and Testing of the Prosthetic Ankle.- Development and Testing of the Prosthetic Knee Joint.- TESTING OF THE EXPERIMENTAL PROSTHESES.- Program.- Results.- Biomechanical Testing of the Rolling Foot with Adjustable Stiffness.- Monitoring.- PRINCIPLE OF SPECTRAL RECIPROCITY IN BIOMECHANICS OF LOCOMOTION AND REHABILITATION.
Practical biomechanics techniques for lower limb prosthetics are presented in this hands-on reference. The concepts behind original prosthetic designs are explained, and stem from the author's experience with biomechanics trials in NIH-supported studies.
