Kinematic and dynamic performance of prosthetic knee joint using six-bar mechanism.
Six-bar linkages have been used in some prosthetic knees in the past years, but only a few publications have been written on the special functions of the mechanism as used in transfemoral prosthesis. This paper investigates the advantages of the mechanism as used in the prosthetic knee from the kinematic and dynamic points of view. Computer simulation and an experimental method were used in the...
متن کاملNonlinear dynamic analysis of a four-bar mechanism having revolute joint with clearance
In general, joints are assumed without clearance in the dynamic analysis of multi-body echanical systems. When joint clearance is considered, the mechanism obtains two uncontrollable degrees of freedom and hence the dynamic response considerably changes. The joints’ clearances are the main sources of vibrations and noise due to the impact of the coupling parts in the joints. Therefore, the syst...
متن کاملKinematic and dynamic analysis of an anatomically based knee joint.
This paper presents a knee-joint model to provide a better understanding on the interaction between natural joints and artificial mechanisms for design and control of rehabilitation exoskeletons. The anatomically based knee model relaxes several commonly made assumptions that approximate a human knee as engineering pin-joint in exoskeleton design. Based on published MRI data, we formulate the k...
متن کاملReconstructing the knee joint mechanism from kinematic data
The interpretation of joint kinematics data in terms of displacements is a product of the type of movement, the measurement technique and the underlying model of the joint implemented in optimization procedures. Kinematic constraints reducing the number of degrees of freedom (DOFs) are expected to compensate for measurement errors and noise, thus, increasing the reproducibility of joint angles....
متن کاملTubercular prosthetic knee joint infection.
This article reports a rare case of late-onset tubercular infection following total knee arthroplasty in a 60-year-old woman who had been treated with a full course of antitubercular therapy for latent tuberculosis almost 25 years ago. Because no clear guidelines exist for optimal management of disease reactivation in the prosthetic knee joint, the authors performed a literature review and atte...
