Abstract

The relationship between gait and foot structure is obvious. This work estimates the design of a foot-ankle mechanism design by predicting the normalized ground reaction forces without the use of the force plate system. This is done by exploiting mathematical arguments developed from the graph that represents whole foot and the suspected stabilizing nodes on foot flat. A custom designed foot-ankle mechanism was manufactured using the dimensions of a male subject’s size-8 foot. This provides the pointof-
care where a patient would supply the scanned foot image so that a prosthetic foot can be manufactured to replace the lost ones.
