Biomechanics in prosthetic rehabilitation
Welcome to WCPT Network for Amputee Rehabilitation Project. This page is being developed by participants of a project to populate the Amputees section of Physiopedia.
- Please do not edit unless you are involved in this project, but please come back in the near future to check out new information!!
- If you would like to get involved in this project and earn accreditation for your contributions, please get in touch!
Tips for writing this page:
Aim:
- To provide the reader with an introduction to the principles of biomechanics.
- To enable those principles to be applied to prosthetic rehabilitation in the lower limb amputee.
To include the following plus anything else you feel is relevant:
- Cycle of physiological walking using recognised terminology
- Principles of forces, centre of mass, moments, levers, equilibrium and work/energy as applied to the normal musculoskeletal system
- How these may differ for the lower limb amputee and broadly how prosthetic provision seeks to minimise gait deviations and optimise mobility
