An Attempt to Improve Stance Mechanics of Trans-Tibial Amputee Gait by the Design of a Modular Ankle Joint Prosthetic by During, Alastair B

“…The work is presented in three core sections: Part 1 explains the rationale as to why adequately replicating natural stance mechanics is an appropriate need; Part 2 presents the design of the modular low-cost AJP that utilises only simple mechanical elements; and Part 3 presents the experimental quantification of the impact the AJP has on stance mechanics of a baseline AFP (Otto Bock 1D10) in a simulation of the TT amputee walking gait cycle, via the use of three able-bodied participants and a pseudo-prosthesis. …”
