Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Rehabilitation Technology
Prosthetics Design

Background:

Traditional lower limb prosthesis design is largely manual and time-consuming.
A need exists for more efficient and personalized prosthetic development processes.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel computer-based framework for designing and testing lower limb prostheses.
To replace manual design methods with a virtual, patient-specific approach.

Main Methods:

Development of a computer-aided design (CAD) software platform.
Creation of a virtual patient model based on biomechanical principles and anthropometric data.
Implementation of virtual environments for prosthesis modeling and functional testing.

Main Results:

The framework allows for the configuration and generation of 3D prosthesis models.
Virtual testing environments enable simulation of patient movements and validation of prosthesis functionality.
The system integrates computer-aided and knowledge-guided design approaches.

Conclusions:

The proposed virtual framework streamlines lower limb prosthesis design and testing.
This approach enhances personalization and functional validation of prosthetic devices.
The system offers a comprehensive solution for modern prosthetic development.
