Development of a knee prosthesis for transfemoral amputations using computational tools

Abstract:

The present investigation is based on the analysis of the human walk, based on the movement of the knee joint to obtain the main parameters, with this data is developed with a mono-centric joint with reference to the characteristics of a patient, A This mechanism perform static analysis by computer, to determine the safety factor, with these data are processed to the simulation of the manufacture of such knee joint. A 3D knee prosthesis is developed from design to manufacturing, this makes 80% of the total time based on the design, analysis and simulation of manufacturing, leaving only 20% to manufacture, And greatly reducing errors and production times since these generate high costs.
