Abstract
New prosthetic materials and designs have lead to many prostheses of lower limbs for amputees. As a result, it is becoming difficult for prosthetists and the physicians to choose which prosthesis is the best for the individual amputee. Presently, there is limited information about “optimal” alignment, and how the prosthesis performs dynamically in achieving optimally symmetrical gait for an amputee. Sensory feedback, better control systems, and more energy-efficient devices are strongly needed [1]. Gait studies, ambulatory physiological monitoring, mathematical modeling of a human controlled motion, and dynamic optimization techniques may be useful tools to improve and create new efficient lower limb protheses.
