Modelamiento en Matlab de prótesis transtibial

Abstract

Was performed the modeling (blocks diagram) from a transtibial prosthesis designed in SolidWorks® 3D software, which was later processed by the SimMechanics™ toolbox of Matlab, in order to know the response of the prosthesis to the different forces with which it interacts, when it is carried by a men with 70kgs and a height of 1.70 meters, being the gait analysis the item to study, the prosthesis initially designed within the research project " response to transtibial prosthesis load with finite elements during stance and swing " from the research group DIGITI that belongs to Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas. The human gait is emulated in the toolbox Matlab Simulink, with which using the blocks of the SimMechanics™ library the march can be recreated. Is important to add that was also used the simulation software Opensim® this with the purpose to understand in a suitable manner the behavior of human kinematic because this software can simulate different kinetic processes that executes the human being and thus acquire data that contribute to the implementation and completion of this project
