KINEMATIC ANALYSIS OF A HUMAN ANKLE JOINT PROSTHESIS

摘要

In this paper we follow to elaborate a new prosthetic mechanical system which will substitute the human ankle joint. This mechanical system will have a cam mechanism in order to accomplish the ankle joint motion. The new prosthetic mechanical system design will be accomplished by performing a kinematic analysis on analytical way. The designed prosthetic mechanical system will be experimentally tested on a human subject with locomotion disabilities.
