Abstract

The commercially available and research-developed positive-type ankle joints do not provide eversion and inversion movements and are limited to dorsiflexion and plantar-flexion. The aim of the research is to create an ankle joint that is simple to install, low in cost and closes in performance to the biological joint. The passive ankle joint is designed to perform dorsiflexion, plantar-flexion, eversion, and inversion movements. A biomechanical test was performed to find the similarity between the functions of the engineered ankle joint and the biological ankle joint. The conclusions show, the designed ankle joint on the simplicity of its structure and components, has come close to the biological function of the ankle in terms of angles.
