Abstract:

The aim of this present study was to develop a patient specific 3D musculoskeletal model of the Post Polio Residual Paralysis (PPRP) subject. This model will allow the effects of the lower limb orthosis on the gait kinematics and kinetics of the patient with PPRP syndrome to be quantified objectively. A healthy 3D musculoskeletal model was also developed as a reference model to pick out pathological disorders of post-polio subject.
