Biomechanical justification of the shape of a human lower limb prosthetic foot

Abstract

Based on the results of this work, it is planned to analyze the stress-strain state of prosthetic feet under operational loads; to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed prosthetic foot designs depending on their shape, gait phase, and walking mode in terms of strength and stiffness; and to provide recommendations for optimizing the shape of the prosthetic foot according to the conditions of use.
