Abstract

Modeling the ankle joint during amputee locomotion is difficult since a definitive joint axis may not exist. Gait analysis estimates joint center positions and defines body segment motions by placing reflective markers on anatomical landmarks. Inverse dynamics techniques then estimate joint kinetics (forces and moments) and mechanical energy expenditure using data from ground reaction forces (GRFs) and the most distal joint (usually the ankle) to make calculations for proximal joints.
