Ganganalyse zur Gleichgewichts-, Stabilitäts- und Sicherheitsbestimmung in der Prothetik

Zusammenfassung: The symmetry of the stance time and of the vertical force peak at loading response was assessed on transfemoral and transtibial amputees by means of baropodometric insoles. Significant differences between groups were only found for the stance time symmetry.

Zusammenfassung: Effects of prosthetic foot stiffness on swing duration variability (SDV) are reported. Subjects walked on an adjustable slope treadmill using a purpose-built prosthetic foot that allowed for stiffness modulation. Low dorsiflexion stiffness generally produced low SDV and was perceived as most stable.

Zusammenfassung: According to 3D gait analysis results, TTAs show reduced values in safety indicators in stair descent which possibly explains their increased risk of falling. The ankle adaptation feature by a new microprocessor controlled ankle seems to improve safety in this condition.
