Abstract
This paper addresses to a finite element analysis in dynamic conditions of a human ankle joint prosthesis based on a cam mechanism design. The proposed ankle joint prosthesis mechanism is a parameterized one and was designed in order to fulfil main human locomotion tasks namely walking during daily activities. A proper 3D CAD model has been developed and the proposed cam mechanism ankle prosthesis was modelled and simulated into MSC Visual Nastran environment. Results of simulations demonstrate the engineering feasibility of the design and validate the proposed parameterized prototype.
