چکیده

Introduction A new three-part total ankle prosthesis was designed [1] to achieve maximal compatibility between component relative motion and ligament natural role. This results in ankle natural mobility while maintaining full conformity, achieved by a backward and forward motion of the meniscus within the flexion arc. In this study the expected early functional recovery was evaluated by a clinical scoring system and by gait analysis.

Evaluation of a Viscoelastic Ankle-Foot Prosthesis at Slow and Normal Walking Speeds on an Able-Bodied Subject

Objectives: This paper describes further improvement and preliminarily evaluation of a novel viscoelastic ankle-foot prosthesis prototype. The objective was to control the ankle hysteresis at slow and normal walking speeds. Methods: Inspired by the ankle biomechanics, in which the hysteresis differs based on the gait speeds, a manually damping control mechanism imbedded in the prosthesis for...

Design and Evaluation of an Articulated Ankle Foot Orthosis with Plantarflexion Resistance on the Gait: a Case Series of 2 Patients with Hemiplegia

Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) have been described to have positive effects on the gait biomechanics in stroke patients. The plantarflexion resistance of an AFO is considered important for hemiplegic patients, but the evidence is still limited. The purpose of this case series was to design and evaluate the immediate effect of an articulated AFO on kinematics and kinetics of lower-limb joints in str...

Fluoroscopic and gait analyses for the assessment of the functional performance of an original total ankle replacement

Background An original total ankle replacement design was developed with the aim of establishing compatibility between the prosthetic articulating surfaces and the retained ligaments. This was achieved with a special shape of a conforming meniscal bearing, free to move forwards/ backwards on both metal components during dorsi/ plantar flexion. Careful kinematics analyses were carried out in pat...

Comparison of Spatiotemporal Parameters and Vertical Ground Reaction Force in the Stance Phase of Gait Among Ankle Sprain Coper and Healthy Athletes

Purpose: It is essential to maintain dynamic stability during walking to perform daily tasks independently. The present study aimed at comparing the spatiotemporal parameters and the values of the vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) as well as determining the time to reach them in ankle-sprain coper and healthy athletes during the stance phase of gait. Methods: A total of 28 female universit...
