Abstract
In the Foot-Ankle prostheses available in the market today, more emphasis is laid upon Dorsiflexion and Plantarflexion motions of the foot, and there is close to no eversion and inversion. Hence, in order to lend a better gait while walking, it is important that the current hinge-type ankle joint be modified to give eversion and inversion along with Dorsiflexion and Plantarflexion, at a reasonable cost. This paper deals with designing a novel mechanism to actuate the Foot-Ankle joint of a powered prosthetic foot to attribute the motions of Eversion, Inversion, Dorsiflexion and, Plantarflexion, which would in turn help in better gait while walking.
