Microcontrollers based Motion Analysis and Control of Lower Limb Kinetics for People Suffering with Osteoarthritis

Knee injuries, leg amputation or arthritis have always been the biggest concern amongst the surgeons and different department of medicines. So far the advancements being done in this arena have proved to be futile, sometimes the condition of the concerned patient becomes too complex due to the pain or any injury that he is tend to remove that part from his body which eventually costs him to spend plenty for the surgery. The knee related problems and amputation can be resolved either through surgery or prescription but for the case of arthritis the patient is confined to live in pain for many years as the complete cure for the same has not been in the medicine department so far. In this study we have attempted to propose a model of leg which allows the patient to move the lower leg autonomously and the speed can be controlled to attain that relaxed range with potentiometers. The whole model has been segregated into different parts which eventually lead to deep analysis of the forces and other parameter acting on the prosthetics at the time of transition from one position to another. Keeping in mind the case of surgery and other methods, this leg tend to perform tasks which do not require any surgery or serious implantation.
