Gait analysis is considered as the most systematic study of human motion. The analysis of gait includes visual and analytical perception of the individual, augmentation of various mechanical instrumentations for measuring movement of body, muscles activity and body mechanics. Past study focused on gait analysis of various animal locomotion and humans mainly on sports biomechanics. This paper aims to quantify the gait performance with Jaipur Knee, which is one of the most widely used prosthesis in Indian population. Gait data with Jaipur knee joint is not available till date. The proposed study targets to predict the performance of Jaipur knee joint in terms of gait symmetry with transfemoral Indian amputees. Gait symmetry may be the basis of recommendation of knee joint to prosthetic patients. This study used kinematics and kinetics parameters together to quantify the performance of Jaipur knee joint to evaluate gait symmetry. This research will be helpful for clinician to predict and further to prevent the degenerated musculoskeletal effects generally seen in unilateral transfemoral amputees.
步态分析被认为是对人类运动最系统的研究。步态分析包括对个体的视觉和分析感知，以及对各种机械仪器的增强，以测量身体的运动、肌肉活动和身体力学。过去的研究主要集中在各种动物运动和人类运动的生物力学分析上。本文旨在通过贾普尔膝关节来量化步态表现，贾普尔膝关节是印度人口中使用最广泛的假肢之一。到目前为止，还没有贾普尔膝关节的步态数据。本研究旨在预测贾普尔膝关节在印度股骨截肢者的步态对称性方面的性能。步态对称性可能是为假肢患者推荐膝关节的基础。本研究使用运动学和动力学参数来共同量化贾普尔膝关节的性能，以评估步态对称性。这项研究将有助于临床医生预测和进一步预防通常在单侧股骨截肢者中出现的退行性肌肉骨骼影响。
