BIOMECHANICS OF HUMAN GAIT CONCEPT IN A PROSTHETIC FOOT

Abstract

This paper describe the primary purpose of lower extremity prosthetic devices is to facilitate ambulation. The attributes of how a person ambulates through the assessment of gait is one of the most studied of all human movements. Although standardized terminology to describe events of the gait cycle do not exist, a widely used nomenclature for describing gait was developed, to understand the characteristics of a prosthetic foot/ankle mechanism, it is important to relate them to a normal foot. To do this, it is also important to understand clinically oriented anatomical terminology also major joints of the human foot include.
