Abstract

The paper considers the features of developing computational models of prosthetic feet for the human lower limb. The designs of prosthetic foot modules are analyzed. The choice of boundary conditions, material properties, and loading parameters that significantly affect the adequacy and reliability of simulation results is substantiated. The obtained results confirm the feasibility of using biomechanically justified models for performing numerical experiments aimed at improving the functionality, reliability, and comfort of prosthetic feet, as well as optimizing their structural solutions in modern orthopedics and rehabilitation engineering.
