Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

1.5K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

3.1K
The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Technology
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Ankle-foot prostheses aim to restore motor function for lower-limb amputees.
  • Existing prostheses often lack natural interaction and bionic motion.
  • Improved mobility and self-care are crucial for amputees' quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a bionic ankle-foot prosthesis with improved motion and patient-prosthesis interaction.
  • To enhance the mobility and daily living capabilities of lower-limb amputees.
  • To investigate the clinical viability and cost-effectiveness of advanced prosthetic technology.

Main Methods:

  • Designed a complex reverse-rolling conjugate joint mimicking human ankle-foot biomechanics.
  • Established a segmental dynamics model to optimize prosthetic structure and driving force.
  • Developed a carbon fiber energy-storage foot with simulated dynamic response analysis.

Main Results:

  • Integrated and experimentally validated the bionic ankle-foot prosthesis.
  • Confirmed the bionic nature of the prosthetic joint motion.
  • Verified the energy-storage characteristics of the carbon fiber prosthetic foot.

Conclusions:

  • The developed ankle-foot prosthesis offers effective ambulation support for amputees.
  • The bionic design facilitates a return to normal social life.
  • The prosthesis shows potential for improving clinical viability and reducing rehabilitation costs.
