Numerical Study of a Customized Transtibial Prosthesis Based on an Analytical Design under a Flex-Foot<sup>®</sup> Variflex<sup>®</sup> Architecture

This work addresses the design, analysis, and validation of a transtibial custom prosthesis. The methodology consists of the usage of videometry to analyze angular relationships between joints, moments, and reaction forces in the human gait cycle. The customized geometric model of the proposed prost...
