Finite element simulation of the full stance-phase in the design process of a 3d-printed composite foot prosthesis

Abstract

Therefore, this work aims to establish a finite element simulation of the full stance-phase of the gait cycle through which the structural and biomechanical parameters of a prosthesis are assessed. The simulated stance-phase conditions were those of the rollover test of ISO 16955. A preliminary model of the set-up of this test was developed
