Popis: In order to develop multifunctional medical recovery and monitoring equipment for the human lower limb, a new original mechanical structure with three degrees mobility has been created for the leg sagittal model. This mechanism is integrated in the equipment and includes elements that have similar functions to the different anatomic parts (femur, median part), leg, and foot. The independent relative rotation motion between the previously mentioned anatomic parts is ensured. The femur may have an oscillation rotation of about 100°
relative to the trunk. The median part (leg) alternatively rotates 150°
relative to the superior segment. The lower part (foot) is initially placed at 90°
relative to the median part and may have an alternative rotation of 25°
Depending on a patient&rsquo
s medical needs and their recovery progress, device sensors provide varying angular amplitude of different segments of the human limb. Moreover, the mechanism may actuate either anatomic leg segment, two parts, or all of them.
