DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROSETHSIS USING SMART DAMPER

Аннотация

This study focuses on the development of a semi-active type prosthesis utilizing a smart damper for improved functionality and comfort for amputees. The integration of smart damper technology allows for real-time adjustment of damping characteristics based on the user's movement patterns and external conditions, contributing to enhanced adaptability and efficiency during various activities.

The prosthesis is designed to mimic the dynamic behavior of a natural limb through the utilization of sensors to collect data on the user's gait, speed, and terrain. The smart damper responds to these inputs by modulating the damping force, providing optimal support and stability while reducing fatigue and strain on the residual limb.

Furthermore, the use of semi-active technology in the prosthesis offering a customizable and adaptable solution for users with varying needs and preferences. The potential benefits of this development include improved comfort, reduced energy consumed, and enhanced overall mobility and quality of life for prosthetic users.
