项目摘要

Phase I involves manufacturing and testing a Rolling Joint Prosthetic Leg (RJ Leg), comprisingly a newly developed Rolling Joint Foot (RJ Foot) and Rolling Joint Knee (RJ Knee). Prosthetic rolling joints will significantly impact the comfort and independence of the transtibial and transfemoral amputees and increase the number of persons, especially elderly, able to wear lower limb prostheses. The specific aims of the project. (1) Manufacture the RJ Knee prototype, which mechanism yields a resistive curve similar to the biological knee joint. (2) Mechanically test stance flexion of the RJ Knee, and shock absorption, rotational stiffness and eversion/inversion of the RJ Foot. (3) Conduct a biomechanical study of 405 transfemoral (AK) amputees wearing a RJ Leg prototype and comparing it to their existing prostheses on: normalizing range of motion in the knee joint; decreased peak pressures between residuum and a socket. This will increase functionality of the leg prosthesis by normalizing the synergetic relationship between the motion in prosthetic ankle and knee during the stance phase of the gait. Long term objectives of the proposed research, are to: develop a functional, reliable and economical prosthetic leg modular system, and a system for synergetic alignment of the components. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION Potential commercial applications is the creation of a product line of Rolling Joint Feet and Knees. The RJ Leg will enhance performance of amputees without increasing cost, thus providing a highly competitive product in the field of prosthetic rehabilitation.

第一阶段涉及制造和测试滚动的关节假肢（RJ腿），构成了新开发的滚动关节脚（RJ脚）和滚动关节膝盖（RJ膝盖）。假体滚动接头将极大地影响thransibial and thransfremoral amuputees的舒适性和独立性，并增加人数，尤其是老年人，能够佩戴下肢假体。项目的具体目的。（1）制造RJ膝盖原型，该原型产生了类似于生物膝关节的电阻曲线。（2）机械测试RJ膝盖的姿势屈曲，并吸收冲击，旋转刚度和Eversion/RJ脚的反转。（3）对穿着RJ腿部原型的405个经胸腔（AK）横幅进行生物力学研究，并将其与现有的假体进行比较：膝关节中的运动范围归一化；残基和插座之间的峰值压力下降。这将通过在步态的立场阶段将运动脚踝和膝盖运动之间的协同关系标准化，从而提高腿假体的功能。拟议的研究的长期目标是：开发功能，可靠和经济的假肢模块化系统，以及组件协同对齐的系统。拟议的商业应用潜在的商业应用是创建滚动脚和膝盖的产品线。 RJ腿将在不增加成本的情况下提高截肢者的性能，从而在假肢康复领域提供高度竞争的产品。
