Static and dynamic pressure prediction for prosthetic socket fitting assessment utilising an inverse problem approach

摘要

ObjectiveIt has been recognised in a review of the developments of lower-limb prosthetic socket fitting processes that the future demands new tools to aid in socket fitting. This paper presents the results of research to design and clinically test an artificial intelligence approach, specifically inverse problem analysis, for the determination of the pressures at the limb/prosthetic socket interface during stance and ambulation.
