Designed and analyzed an actively controlled prosthetic foot that could change shapes depending on patient usage. Analysis included MATLAB simulations and finite element analysis. Also designed and implemented compliant linkages into the foot for increased comfort. Manufactured and assembled said foot. Selected and implemented accelerometer, micro-controller, and servo motor to allow foot to adjust based on patient usage. Finally, ran diagnostic and validation tests including force application… Show more Designed and analyzed an actively controlled prosthetic foot that could change shapes depending on patient usage.
