Abstract

The prosthetic leg is commonly used for the disable people. There are several aspects that should be investigated regarding to the discomfort of the user of the prosthetic leg. The discomforts for the prosthetic ankle users are different on different type of prosthetic leg. Most of the discomfort occurs because of the on the stress on the amputee leg which should be further studied. Thus, if the problem on the prosthetic leg can be identified the discomfort of the amputee can be avoided. The main problem of the prosthetic ankle is the lack of ergonomic aspect. This project was aimed to determine the ergonomic aspect and finite element analysis in the simulation for the prosthetic leg. This project will study on the ankle of a prosthetic leg. Further expectation is to innovate and compare with the existing prosthetic leg by performing some additional method to improve the design of the prosthetic leg. There are several methods that will be used to design the prosthetic leg such as finite element on the socket of the prosthetic leg to detect the discomfort of the user. The effectiveness of this method will help to make a prosthetic leg that is comfortable and follow with the human aspect on the ergonomic terms.
