Diseño de interfaz gráfica para analizar el ciclo de marcha del cuerpo humano en software libre

Abstract

Currently in the country there are more than 27 thousand cases of annual amputations and more than 80% correspond to lower limbs, therefore, the demand for prosthetic equipment is greater than what the health sector institutions can provide. It should be noted that the equipment developed by these institutions is only passive equipment, so that only 10% of patients who receive a prosthetic equipment successfully complete their rehabilitation. The main problems that the patient faces when adapting to their prosthetic equipment is the response time and alignment vs the healthy limb, since it does not have an intelligent control system that allows them to respond in real time as the losted limb did. This causes gaps when performing your gait cycle, this over time can bring about abnormalities in your posture affecting the alignment of your motor system. This work allows us to analyze the range of motion of the ankles and knees, in addition to determining the angular velocity of both, it is essential information for the development of control systems necessary for active prosthetic equipment. The programming language where it was developed is the Python 3.7 software and additionally reproduce the simulation of the gait cycle.
