| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research project, we aimed to construct a system to support the fitting and design of prosthetic legs, and developed the fundamental technologies necessary for the system. The three main research results are as follows. (1) We developed a method for estimating the three-dimensional shape of the patient's tissues of stump and the elastic distribution of each tissue simultaneously by using an MRI device and a US echo imaging system. (2) We developed a calculation system using neuro-musculo-skeletal model which is able to simulate the gait of an arbitrary prosthetic leg and evaluate the gait. (3) Based on finite element analysis of an actual prosthetic leg user's stump and socket, we predicted the typical pattern of stress distribution at the stump of the fitted above knee prosthetic socket wearing standing position.
