Developing a Knee Prosthesis
ÖffentlichHerunterladbarer Inhalt
open in viewerMillions of people need above-the-knee prostheses, yet their designs are not perfected. The goal of this project was to create a knee prosthesis that aids users in traversing stairs with greater ease than current knee prostheses. Our prosthesis utilized a four-bar mechanism to mimic the motion and forces a healthy knee sustains; the prosthesis resulted in an improvement in knee flexion angles while walking and stair traversing compared to current models. Overall, our prosthesis successfully met the necessary design goals.
