Modeling and Optimization of a Knee Orthosis Using Virtual Prototyping
نویسنده
چکیده
Simpler foot orthoses allow the muscles, tendons and bones of the feet and lower legs to function at their highest potential. When appropriately prescribed, these orthoses can decrease pain and increase stability in an unstable joint, along with preventing potential progression or development of a deformity. Improved quality of life often results from the application of the principles of orthotics. In this paper the authors provide some models of virtual prototypes of orthoses device for foot rehabilitation where enforce some law of motions for optimizing the real motion for a healthy food.

A digital approach for design and fabrication by rapid prototyping of orthosis for developmental dysplasia of the hip
Introduction: Immobilization in a hip spica cast is required in surgical and nonsurgical treatments for children aged three months to four years diagnosed with developmental dysplasia of the hip. Skin complications are associated with the use of the spica cast in 30% of the cases. This research explores the use of photogrammetry and rapid prototyping for the production of a lighter, shower frie...

Objective: The number of people suffering from Osteoarthritis (OA) is increasing. Treatment of OA can be done with or without surgery. The most common treatment is using orthosis. However, most patients with OA prefer not to use orthosis because of downward transition. Therefore, the objective of this study was to design new orthosis and to assess its effects on knee joint kinetics and kinemati...

Objective In normal walking, the ground reaction forces pass through the medial compartment of the knee and produce an external adduction torque around the knee joint. External adduction moment of the knee can lead to medial knee osteoarthritis. Adjustment of the knee alignment and modifying the biomechanical forces on the knee can reduce pain, increase performance, and parameters of walking an...
متن کاملThe effect of knee orthosis on co-contraction values of knee and ankle muscles during running in people with knee deformity in the frontal plane.
Background and Aims: the use of knee orthosis changes the mechanics of running. One of the important biomechanical factors in rehabilitation and injury prevention is co-contraction of knee and ankle joints. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of knee orthosis on changes in the contraction of knee and ankle muscles during running in people with genu varum. Mat...
متن کاملAnalysis and design of an active orthosis by using parameter optimization to simulate assisted gait dynamics performance
Inverse dynamics simulation is often used in robotic and mechatronic systems to track a desired trajectory by feed-forward control. Musculoskeletal multibody systems found in biomechanics are highly overactuated due to the many muscles, and they show a switching number of closed kinematical loops. The method of inverse dynamics is also successfully applied to overactuated systems by parameter o...
