Résumé
The ankle-foot prosthesis aims to compensate for the missing motor functions by fitting the motion characteristics of the human ankle, which contributes to enabling the lower-limb amputees to take care of themselves and improve mobility in daily life. To address the problems of poor bionic motion of the ankle-foot prosthesis and the lack of natural interaction among the patient, prosthesis, and the environment, we developed a complex reverse-rolling conjugate joint based on the human ankle-foot structure and motion characteristics, the rolling joint was used to simulate the rolling-sliding characteristics of the knee joint. Meanwhile, we established a segmental dynamics model of the prosthesis in the stance phase, and the prosthetic structure parameters were obtained with the optimal prosthetic structure dimensions and driving force. In addition, a carbon fiber energy-storage foot was designed based on the human foot profile, and the dynamic response of its elastic strain energy at different thicknesses was simulated and analyzed. Finally, we integrated a bionic ankle-foot prosthesis and experiments were conducted to verify the bionic nature of the prosthetic joint motion and the energy-storage characteristics of the carbon fiber prosthetic foot. The proposed ankle-foot prosthesis provides ambulation support to assist amputees in returning to social life normally and has the potential to help improve clinical viability to reduce medical rehabilitation costs.
