ABSTRACT
This paper introduces a mechanical structure of bionic foot with a shoe structure. Additionally, the stability control of this prosthetic joint in leg during the swing phase is achieved by a using specific type of motor. By adjusting the transmission ratio of ankle, a desired output has been obtained. This compact system consists of only shoe structure and rest of the leg is a structure only with required number of degree of freedoms. It uses elastic actuator made up of wishbone structure for stability, proper load distribution and vibration absorption. This system also shows the charging percentage for the convenience of disabled people.
Key words: Biomechanics, prosthetic foot, wishbone structure, suspension foot.
