Design of an Individual Cover for a Lower Limb Prosthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the modern trends in prosthetics and orthotics is production design covers for lower limb prostheses. Thanks to advantages CAD/CAM, there are no limits these covers. At present, companies that provide produced by additive manufacturing, but their price relatively high. In this work, motivation procedure an individual cover a prosthesis specific user discussed. The aim study propose methodology using freely downloadable CAD software based on 3D scanning data, which will be manufacturing technology.

An autologus lower limb prosthesis.
Van Nes rotationplasty is a reconstructive and salvage procedure of the lower limb. The technique replaces the amputated thigh and knee with an autologus biological 'prosthesis', the patient's own ipsilateral ankle, which is rotated 180 degrees and fixed at the level of the contralateral knee. This procedure was first adapted by Borggreve of Germany in 1930 to treat a knee joint destroyed by tu...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
A robust design procedure for improvement of quality of lower-limb prosthesis.
Lower-limb prostheses are used to restore amputee's walking. Monolimb is one of the designs referring to socket and the shank being molded into one piece of thermoplastic material. Appropriate shank flexibility of a monolimb can improve gait of an amputee. However, during the fabrication, the variations of design variables are inevitably produced which may lead the unexpected shank deflection a...
متن کاملRobotic lower limb prosthesis design through simultaneous computer optimizations of human and prosthesis costs
Robotic lower limb prostheses can improve the quality of life for amputees. Development of such devices, currently dominated by long prototyping periods, could be sped up by predictive simulations. In contrast to some amputee simulations which track experimentally determined non-amputee walking kinematics, here, we explicitly model the human-prosthesis interaction to produce a prediction of the...
متن کاملAn Investigation into a Gear-Based Knee Joint Designed for Lower Limb Prosthesis
A gear-based knee joint is designed to improve the performance of mechanical-type above-knee prostheses. The gear set with the help of some bracing, and bracket arrangement, is used to enable the prosthesis to follow the residual limb movement. The motion analysis and finite-element analysis (FEA) of knee joint components are carried out to assess the feasibility of the design. The maximum stre...
