A set of programs for calculating the dynamic and energy characteristics of a person’s movement on a leg prosthesis

Purpose. The complex is designed to calculate the dynamic and energy characteristics of the gait of a person with a prosthetic leg, taking into account the data of experimental biomechanical measurements (goniometric, podographic, tensometric).

Specifications. The complex of programs is a modern Windows program with a multi-window interface, convenient for entering input data, calculating the characteristics of a person’s gait, storing them (tables, graphs), and printing.

Application area. Medicine, rehabilitation.

Advantages. There are no domestic analogues of the development. Compared with foreign analogues, the proposed complex has a significantly lower cost, is based on simpler mechanical models of human gait, taking into account the full natural sequence of phases of foot movement, the correspondence of kinematic and dynamic limitations in the double-step interval, and the rigid characteristics of the prosthesis.

Description. The complex is based on a mathematical model of human gait on a leg prosthesis and an energy-optimization approach to calculating the dynamic characteristics of gait with an incomplete set of input data.
