#48 Design Considerations: Prosthesis & Orthosis | Mechanics of Human Movement

Welcome to 'Mechanics of Human Movement' course ! This lecture expands on design considerations for prostheses and orthoses, with examples: Prosthetic Foot Designs and Examples: Present various prosthetic foot designs, including those with shock absorbers, composite keels, multi-axial ankles, and adjustable heel heights. Customization and Material Selection: Highlight the importance of customizing prosthetic components to individual user needs, including size, stiffness, and activity level. Discuss the use of lightweight and durable materials like composites (carbon fiber) and metals (aluminum, titanium) in prosthetic construction. Role of the Prosthesis and Functional Needs: Reiterate the primary role of a prosthesis in restoring user independence and the need to consider the specific functional needs of the user when selecting components. Knee Mechanisms in Prostheses and Orthoses: Introduce different knee mechanisms used in prostheses and orthoses, including locked knees, single-axis knees, and polycentric knees.
