Amputation is defined as the loss of part of an individual’s limb. Its high incidence makes that the researches and search for the improvement of the devices that help it during the accomplishment of the activities of daily life can be each day more improved. Therefore, the aim of the research is to determine the best placement of reflexive markers on the individual’s skin. The research method was supported by Qualisys Track Manager (QTM) along with the support of several other software that aided in analyzing the data (Anaconda, Juper, Open Gait Analytics). This protocol was thought and referenced by authors who were dedicated to understanding the best points of reflexive markers in the patient’s body, where these authors studied the important anatomical points for the collection and better capture of the images. The sites of placement of the markers determined after due analysis of the studies of these authors were in the hip, thigh, knee, leg, and ankle. The protocol was tested and validated by the researchers and in this way was continued in the analysis. The result evidenced the angles found during the process of ambulation of the individual. It is hoped that with this research it will be possible to complete all the proposed objectives so that in the end one can propose improvements in the quality of life of the amputees. |
