Abstract:
Instrumented motion analysis plays a pivotal role in orthopedic technology, offering unique opportunities to analyze and optimize biomechanical, musculoskeletal and neurological processes. This article highlights several recent studies leveraging motion analysis to explore various aspects of prosthetic development, control, loading and safety. The compiled studies highlight the essential potential of instrumented motion analysis in the field of exoskeletal prosthetics. Beyond improving the quality of life for prosthesis users, this technology plays an indispensable role for advancing the functionality and safety of current and future orthopedic devices.
