Zusammenfassung: Kinematics and kinetics of 6 hip disarticulation patients with the Helix and 7E7 Hip Joints were analysed during gait. The results show that the Helix offers functional advantages: A more symmetrical gait pattern results from knee and hip characteristics which are significantly more physiological.

Zusammenfassung: We developed a new hip disarticulation prosthesis (HDP) of which hip joint is attached on the side of socket. In order to evaluate the new HDP, walking experiment was performed on two subjects. Gait was clearly improved especially in motion of pelvis and knee joint of prosthetic side.

Zusammenfassung: The aim of this work was to assess the effect of the novel Otto-Bock (D) Helix3D hip joint, on the gait of a hip-disarticulated amputee, compared to the standard Otto-Bock 7E7. Results showed multiple improvements of gait with the Helix3D, including a lower net metabolic cost and improved symmetry.

Zusammenfassung: By determining the load balance point on the prosthetic side and the individual pelvic tilt, a verified, functional sagittal plane alignment of HD style prostheses is provided and only plantar flexion needs to be adapted during static alignment optimisation using the L.A.S.A.R. Posture.
