Experimental Recognition of Loading Character of Transtibial Prosthesis

This paper deals with experimental simulation of mechanical properties of transtibial prosthesis. Artificial limb allows patient standing and moving without of using others supporting devices. Therefore, patient returns back to common and active life. Design and prosthesis properties decide about comfort, safeness and reliability of prosthesis. The article summarizes a conclusion of preliminary experiment, which was performed to measurement procedure of prosthesis strain (for real loading of straight walking, downhill walking and downstairs walking and data processing.
