Lower-limb amputees have identified comfort and mobility as the two most important characteristics of a prosthesis. While these in turn depend on a multitude of factors, they are strongly influenced by the biomechanical performance of the prosthesis and the loading it imparts to the residual limb. Recent years have seen improvements in several prosthetic components that are designed to improve patient comfort and mobility. In this paper, we discuss two of these: VSAP and prosthetic foot-ankle systems; specifically, their mechanical properties and impact on amputee gait are presented.
下肢截肢者认为舒适性和移动性是假肢最重要的两个特性。虽然这些特性反过来又取决于众多因素,但它们受到假肢的生物力学性能及其施加在残肢上的负荷的强烈影响。近年来,一些旨在提高患者舒适性和移动性的假肢组件有了改进。在本文中,我们将讨论其中的两种:VSAP和假肢足踝系统;具体而言,将介绍它们的机械性能及其对截肢者步态的影响。
