Popis: In recent years there is a high demand for assistive devices for the lower limb amputees. Assistive devices play a major role in rehabilitation post prosthesis globally due to problems associated with the prosthesis. This literature research aims to find out an affordable, accessible, and easy to adapt assistive devices for lower limb amputees to analyze gait cycle post prosthesis. The performance of different techniques used to analyze the walking patterns of patients having lower limb amputations by the previous researchers is presented. The efforts made by healthcare professionals in developing rehabilitation duration and prognostics are also identified. A structured review of the literature of the rehabilitation, assistive devices used is carried out. The various methods for the synthesis of planar single and multi-loop linkages along with the methods for defect-rectification are explored. This review addresses the gait analysis methods and assistive devices in lower limb prosthetics systematically and thoroughly.
