Topologically Optimized Anthropomorphic Prosthetic Limb: Finite Element Analysis and Mechanical Evaluation Using Plantogram-Derived Foot Pressure Data

The development of prosthetic limbs has benefited individuals who suffered amputations due to accidents or medical conditions. During the development of conventional prosthetics, several challenges have been observed regarding the functional limitations, the restricted degrees of freedom compared to...
