Mobilitätsuntersuchungen und Belastungsmessungen an Oberschenkelamputierten

In order to design functional and safe prosthesis components, it is important to know how they are used by the amputees in their daily lives. The book describes the development of a mobile measurement system that allows the onsite collection of data about use and loads from transfemoral amputees, which will enable the realistic planning of design, function, and testing.

• Develops a measurement system that is integratable in exoprostheses to collect load and mobility data on transfemoral amputees
• Discusses the proper design of functional and structural components
