Abstract

A major object of prosthetics fitting procedure has to provide the amputee with the greatest potential long-term rehabilitation result by providing the finest feasible design. The foot keel and ankle joint are two key components for transtibial prosthetic users. This essay's objective is to determine the effect of systematically altering the stiffness of prosthetic foot keel and ankle joint on standing in individuals who have undergone unilateral transtibial amputations. A balance analysis was carried out to select the optimal combination of prosthetic foot and joint. According to the findings, the medium foot and soft ankle joint is the best one for standing analysis.
