Use of Dynamic FEA for Design Modification and Energy Analysis of a Variable Stiffness Prosthetic Foot

Use of Dynamic FEA for Design Modification and Energy Analysis of a Variable Stiffness Prosthetic Foot

Different tasks and conditions in gait call for different stiffness of prosthetic foot devices. The following work presents a case study on design modifications of a prosthetic foot, aimed at variable stiffness of the device. The objective is a proof-of-concept, achieved by simulating the modificati...
