Analysis of Prosthetic Gait on Stairs, Slopes and Uneven Terrain

摘要

The results of our research into the latest global technology of microprocessor controlled lower limb prostheses produced the Intelligent Prosthetic (IP) System that is enjoying international demand. We are also developing new prosthetic system that will allow the user to negotiate various terrains, and we will continue to report on gait analysis studies among trans-tibial and trans-femoral prosthesis users. In this study, we followed one subject using a trans-tibial prosthesis, analyzing his gait on different terrain such as stairs, slopes and uneven terrain, and investigated the necessary function at the knee joint for trans-femoral prosthesis users.
