Abstract:
Participating in sport at all levels is gaining a dedicated following and this is also apparent in individuals with an amputation. Currently, there is a wide variety of ankle prostheses available which attempt to provide function, control, and comfort, as well as good aesthetic appeal. Participation in sport, however, increases the demands placed upon ankle prostheses. This can compromise function and performance, and constrain the opportunities of participation in various outdoor and water sports. In acknowledging this limitation and the need to develop more versatile ankle prostheses, this article introduces the evolution of a prototype ankle prosthesis referred to as “ Adaptive Sports Ankle.” The ankle prosthesis, which is compatible with any foot pyramid adapter, offers the same range of motion as the normal human ankle joint and is made up of components that are chemical and corrosion resistant. These design features that are specifically created to accommodate below-the-knee amputees provide an ideal prosthesis for those wishing to lead an active lifestyle and participate in aquatic (i.e. swimming, surfing, and scuba diving), snowboarding, and equestrian activities. Although it is acknowledged that there is a need to establish research on the Adaptive Sports Ankle, its introduction to the market will enhance and expand opportunities of those individuals with a lower limb amputation to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. Clinical relevance The introduction of the Adaptive Sports Ankle Prosthesis provides versatility in terms of motion of the device and robust material. Although in its infancy, clinicians should be aware of the potential of this product for individuals who have had a below-the-knee amputation and express a desire to participate in water sports and other outdoor activities.

Abstract:
Background:Sport prostheses are used by both upper- and lower-limb amputees while participating in sports and other physical activities. Although the number of these devices has increased over the past decade, no overview of the peer reviewed literature describing them has been published previously. Such an overview will allow specialists to choose appropriate prostheses based on available scientific evidence rather than on personal experience or preference.Objective:To provide an overview of the sport prostheses as they are described by the papers published in peer reviewed literature.Study Design:Literature review.Methods:Four electronic databases were searched using free text and Medical Subject Headings (MESH) terms. Papers were included if they concerned a prosthesis or a prosthetic adaptation used in sports. Papers were excluded if they did not originate from peer reviewed sources, if they concerned prostheses for body parts other than the upper or lower limbs, if they concerned amputations distal to the wrist or ankle, or if they were written in a language other than English.Results:Twenty-four papers were included in this study. The vast majority contained descriptive data and consisted of expert opinions and technical notes.Conclusion:Data concerning the energy efficiency, technical characteristics and special mechanical properties of prostheses or prosthetic adaptations for sports, other than running, are scarce.Clinical relevanceAn overview of the peer reviewed literature will enable rehabilitation specialists working with amputees to choose a prosthesis that best suits their patients’ expectations on the available scientific evidence. Identifying the information gaps present in the peer reviewed literature will stimulate new research and eventually broaden the base of scientific knowledge.

Abstract:
Despite recent significant advances in technology and medicine, the number of patients who undergo amputation of body parts for various reasons continues to increase. Assistive devices such as prosthetic arms can enable limited activities in upper limb amputees and improve their quality of life. This study aims to help in the development of user-centered prosthetics by identifying user requirements and key considerations during selection of prosthetics. This study conducted a questionnaire survey after obtaining prior consent for persons with disabilities with upper limb amputation who visited orthosis companies, rehabilitation centers for the disabled, veteran’s hospitals, and labor welfare corporations. A modified questionnaire was conducted to upper limb prosthetic users and results were analysed using descriptive statistics and t-test. Results of the study showed that the main reasons for discontinuing the use of prosthetics were discomfort (discomfort in wear, weight, and difficulty of detachment) and complaints regarding design and function. Regardless of the prosthesis type, the color and design of the prosthesis were key considerations in prosthesis choices. Respondents indicated that they needed various prostheses designed according to the purpose and situation, such as for sports like golf and cycling as well as everyday use. Most of the respondents answered that buttoning shirts, tying knots, and using chopsticks were challenging or impossible to do on their own. Based on the results of this study, the quality of life of upper limb amputees can be improved if a prosthetic arm with various functions that can satisfy both the user’s needs and wants is developed.

Abstract:
Background: As part of the process of improving prosthetic arms, it is important to obtain the opinions of the user population.Objectives: To identify factors that should be focused on to improve prosthesis provision.Study design: Postal questionnaire.Methods: The questionnaire was sent to 292 adults (aged 18 to 70 years) with upper-limb loss or absence at five centres (four in Europe) Participants were identified as regular attendees of the centres.Results: This questionnaire received a response from 180 users (response rate 62%) of different types of prosthetic devices. Responses showed that the type of prosthesis generally used was associated with gender, level of loss and use for work (Pearson chi-square, p-values below 0.05). The type of prosthesis was not associated with cause, side, usage (length per day, sports or driving) or reported problems. The findings did not identify any single factor requiring focus for the improvement of prostheses or prosthetic provision.Conclusions: Every part of the process of fitting a prosthesis can be improved, which will have an effect for some of the population who use their devices regularly. There is, however, no single factor that would bring greater improvement to all users.Clinical relevance Based on information gained from a broad range of prosthesis users, no single aspect of prosthetic provision will have a greater impact on the use of upper limb prostheses than any other. Efforts to improve the designs of prosthetic systems can cover any aspect of provision.

Abstract:
Background and Aim: It has been reported that cycling-specific research relating to participants with an amputation is extremely limited in both volume and frequency. However, practitioners might participate in the development of cycling-specific prosthetic limbs. This technical note presents the development of a successful design of a prosthetic limb developed specifically for competitive cycling. Technique: This project resulted in a hollow composite construction which was low in weight and shaped to reduce a rider’s aerodynamic drag. Discussion: The new prosthesis reduces the overall mass of more traditional designs by a significant amount yet provides a more aerodynamic shape over traditional approaches. These decisions have yielded a measurable increase in cycling performance. While further refinement is needed to reduce the aerodynamic drag as much as possible, this project highlights the benefits that can exist by optimising the design of sports-specific prosthetic limbs. Clinical relevance This project resulted in the creation of a cycling-specific prosthesis which was tailored to the needs of a high-performance environment. Whilst further optimisation is possible, this project provides insight into the development of sports-specific prostheses.

Abstract:
Unilateral, transtibial amputees exhibit walking asymmetries and higher metabolic costs of walking than nonamputees walking at similar speeds. Using lightweight prostheses has previously been suggested as a contributing factor to walking asymmetries. The purpose was to investigate the effects of prosthesis mass and mass distribution on metabolic costs and walking asymmetries among six unilateral, transtibial amputees. Kinematic and temporal symmetry did not improve when mass was added at different locations on the limb. Stance and swing time asymmetries increased by 3.4% and 7.2%, respectively, with loads positioned distally on the limb. Maximum knee angular velocity asymmetries increased by 6% with mass added to the thigh, whereas maximum thigh angular velocity asymmetries increased by approximately 10% with mass positioned near the prosthetic ankle. Adding 100% of the estimated mass difference between intact and prosthetic legs to the ankle of the prosthesis increased energy costs of walking by 12%; adding the same mass to the prosthesis center of mass or thigh center of mass increased metabolic cost by approximately 7% and 5%, respectively. Unless other benefits are gained by increasing prosthesis mass, this should not be considered as a possible alternative to current lightweight prosthesis designs currently being prescribed to unilateral amputees.

Abstract:
Background: Typical upper limb prostheses may limit sports participation; therefore, specialized terminal devices are often needed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of transradial amputees to play golf using a specialized terminal device. Case description and methods: Club head speed, X-factor, and elbow motion of two individuals with transradial amputations using an Eagle Golf terminal device were compared to a non-amputee during a golf swing. Measurements were collected pre/post training with various stances and grips. Findings and outcomes: Both prosthesis users preferred a right-handed stance initially; however, after training, one preferred a left-handed stance. The amputees had slower club head speeds and a lower X-factor compared to the non-amputee golfer, but increased their individual elbow motion on the prosthetic side after training. Conclusion: Amputees enjoyed using the device, and it may provide kinematic benefits indicated by the increase in elbow flexion on the prosthetic side. Clinical relevance The transradial amputees were able to swing a golf club with sufficient repetition, form, and velocity to play golf recreationally. Increased elbow flexion on the prosthetic side suggests a potential benefit from using the Eagle Golf terminal device. Participating in recreational sports can increase amputees’ health and quality of life.

Abstract:
Background: Unique to sport with a disability such as those performed at the Paralympics, the need to improve the performance of lower limb prostheses can conflict with the need to provide an equal opportunity to win whilst still needing to encourage and maximise participation. Objectives: This paper extends previous research by attempting to propose a method suitable for sports governing bodies to help any functional assessment of sprinting lower limb prosthesis technology in the future. Study Design: The study comprises two elements: 1) A historical review and evaluation of drop jump assessment techniques. 2) A pilot test of a candidate using two mechanically different lower limb regions. Methods: A unilateral drop jump technique is assessed historically as an evaluation technique for sprinters with a lower-limb amputation. Further, a unilateral drop jump using mechanically altered lower limbs is piloted. Results: The historical review provides no evidence to suggest that this technique is not suitable for athlete participants. The pilot trials show a statistically stable and repeatable method of demonstrating a mechanical deficiency of one limb to another. Six jumps are suitable to obtain stable results but the mechanical behaviour of one limb may eventually change based on accumulated fatigue. Conclusions: The unilateral drop jump is shown to be viable for application to an athlete population with a lower limb unilateral amputation. Clinical relevance This paper develops previous sports stakeholder research and pilots an assessment strategy to provide a functional limb-to-limb comparison of the same lower limb region. This would potentially be used by both prosthetists and the sport’s governing body to help maintain fairness in the sport as prosthesis technology develops.

Abstract:
The Authors, taking into account the fact that hip prosthetic implant mobilization frequently occurs due to excessive stress exerted on bone-prosthesis interface, suggest using prosthesis having stress-breakers, capable in reducing the loads exerted on the implant. There are some hip prosthesis in design which have a descharge force system in the cotyloid, in the neck and in the prosthetic stem. Some technical problems are not yet solved, expecially concerning the wear and tear, the friction and the lubrication of the stress-breakers.

Abstract:
Sports technology can be any product or system used to facilitate, train or influence an athlete’s performance. The role of prostheses used for disability sport was initially to help facilitate exercise and then ultimately, competition. In able-bodied sport, controversy has occasionally been caused through the adoption or introduction of sports technology. However, scant attention has been paid to sport with a disability with respect to such concerns. This research project provides a novel contribution to knowledge by investigating the use of lower-limb running prostheses in competition by trans-tibial amputees. A novel study using a mixed method approach has investigated the nature, use and assessment of lower-limb running prostheses. It has proposed that the unchecked introduction of such technology has affected the sport negatively. From this, the study conducted a stakeholder assessment of the sport and provided a proposed series of guidelines for lower-limb prostheses technology inclusion. Finally, the recommendation was made that a proactive approach to such technologies’ inclusion in the future should be implemented. These guidelines were further developed by assessing symmetrical and nonsymmetrical lower-limb function and proposed that single and double lowerlimb amputees should be separated in competition in the future. To this end, it was proposed that lower-limb symmetry, stiffness and energy return were important means of monitoring prosthesis performance. Ultimately, a dynamic technique which assesses these qualities was proposed as an assessment strategy for further development in the future.

A dissertação analisou os significados que os indivíduos atribuíam aos seus corpos e suas vidas cotidianas após terem sido submetidos ao processo de adaptação a próteses e inseridos ao mundo do esporte. O material empírico foi coletado através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas realizadas no NEFEA (Núcleo de Atividade Física e Esporte Adaptado) da UEFS (Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana), o qual desenvolve atividades esportivas junto às pessoas deficientes. O grupo participante do estudo foi atletas do núcleo, todos dependentes de alguma prótese para realizar as atividades cotidianas e no esporte, são homens, com idades variando entre 23 e 37 anos, sendo que têm em comum o fato de terem se tornado deficientes após um acidente ou doença. O estudo caracterizado como uma análise qualitativa teve a pesquisa de campo desenvolvida no período de julho de 2005 no NEFEA, onde foram feitas todas as entrevistas. Consistiu em problematizar os efeitos que as tecnologias provocam na vida cotidiana através do esporte destes indivíduos pelas transformações ocorridas em seus corpos, o estranhamento e a naturalização do “novo” corpo fabricado pelas tecnologias, um ser protético. Contou como base teórica os Estudos Culturais assim como autores que discutem o corpo sob concepções pós-modernas. A dissertação representa, por sua vez, as reflexões construídas destes indivíduos em constantes questionamentos com a hegemonia cultural, na qual este corpo protético e atleta, lembrado como híbrido, ao final foi deslumbrado como algo produzido e ressignificado constantemente, assim como inovável, moldável e provisório.

Abstract:
Formål: Formålet med studiet er at undersøge hvordan løb med en dagligdagsprotese og en løbespecifikprotese påvirker kinetik i nedre ekstremiteter hos mennesker med en transtibial-amputation.   Metode: Kinetisk data blev indsamlet ved løbetests, med begge proteser, med et motion capture system og kraftplader i et klinisk ganganalyse lab i Göteborg, Sverige. Deltagere(n=2) udførte løbetests i selvvalgt hastighed, iført refleksive markører. Vertikal GRF, fod progressions vinkel, adducerende/abducerende hofte- og knæmoment udvalgt til videre databehandling.   Resultat: Forskelle i hofte- og knæ adduktions moment og fod progressions vinkel blev observeret mellem de to protesetyper. Momenterne var mindre, når deltagerne løb med den løbespecifikke protese. Forskelle på den amputerede side og den kontralaterale side noteredes ved alle parametre uanset protesetype. Den kontralaterale side havde forøgede værdier sammenlignet med den amputerede side.   Konklusion: Grundet forsøgets størrelse kan vi ikke konkludere, at individer med unilateral amputation i nedre ekstremitet absorberer belastning bedre, når de løber med en løbespecifikprotese fremfor en dagligdagsprotese.
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate how running with a daily-use prosthesis and a running specific prosthesis affects kinetics in the lower extremities when it comes to people with a transtibial amputation.   Method: Kinetic data was collected through running tests, using both type of prosthesis, with a motion capture system and force plates in a clinical gait lab in Gothenburg, Sweden. Participants (n=2) executed the running tests in a self-selected speed, while wearing reflective markers. Vertical ground reaction force, foot progression angle, hip- and knee moment were selected for data processing.   Results: Differences in hip- and knee adduction moment and foot progression angle were observed between the two types of prostheses. Moments were smaller when participants ran with running-specific prosthesis. Dissimilarity for the amputated side and the contralateral side were noted for all parameters regardless of type of prosthesis. The contralateral side had increased values compared to the amputated side.     Conclusion: Because of the sample size we cannot conclude that individuals with a unilateral lower body amputation absorb load more efficiently when running with a running-specific prosthesis rather than a daily-use prosthesis.

Abstract:
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating disease affecting the entire knee joint by inducing pathological changes to the cartilage and menisci. Currently, the etiology of OA is not completely understood. However, altered gait mechanics, specifically increased joint loading, of OA patients have a clear association with both symptomatic and structural OA progression. Non-surgical intervention tools, such as variable stiffness shoes (VSS), have been developed as a way to decrease loading within the knee joint. However, with external moments being surrogate measures for knee loading, it is unclear if changes in knee moments with the footwear are sufficient to result in a clinical benefit. Therefore, this project’s purpose was to investigate whether a VSS intervention can alter knee joint loading and menisci function in a knee OA population. We used gait analysis, musculoskeletal modeling, and finite element (FE) analysis to determine the effect of VSS on gait mechanics, knee joint contact force, and menisci stress and strain, compared to a control shoe. We found knee moments did not decrease with the VSS intervention. Furthermore, participants who did experience a decrease in knee adduction moment did not always experience a decrease in medial compartment contact force. However, results from our FE modeling of the tibiofemoral joint indicate significant changes in knee joint contact force can influence stress placed on the menisci. Results from this study suggest knee contact forces and tissue stress, not only external moments, should be considered when investigating if VSS can positively impact an OA population.

Abstract:
This essay begins a discussion of ethical and aesthetic responses to the performances of disabled musicians, using critical/analytical frameworks for debates concerning prosthesis and doping drawn from sports philosophy. Music performance is mapped onto a definition of games, and then sport, identifying points of correlation in terms of its rules and goals. Specific instances drawn from sporting events of 2012 are examined in relation to a five-level model against which ethical responses to technology in sport may be mapped. The same model is then adjusted to consider responses to the postproduction music application, Auto-Tune, with specific reference to the singers Imogen Heap and Janelle Monáe. Performances by disabled musicians that occurred during the Paralympics and London’s Cultural Olympiad are then considered using a second model for aesthetic responses to sporting performance.

Abstract:
Many physical and psychological benefits of exercise and sport participation exist for blind or deaf children, as well as children with disabilities such as cerebral palsy, myelomeningocoele, spinal cord injury, and amputations. There are also a number of challenges these children must face in these endeavours. It is important to understand the injuries to which children with disabilities are predisposed and general strategies for prevention. Some adaptations via adjustments in rules and use of specialized wheelchairs and prosthetic devices allow participation in a more diverse range of athletic activity for this population. Many opportunities exist for children with disabilities, including Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities, to participate in sports at a local or recreational level, all the way to the elite level in the Paralympic Games and Special Olympic World Games. It is important that health professionals become familiar with the unique challenges faced by these individuals.

Abstract:
This chapter reviews the prevalence of some of the more common physical and mental impairments and addresses the particular challenges faced by individuals with disabilities who are participating in sports. Although the incidence of sport-significant abnormalities detected amoung able-bodied individuals on preparticipation screening is relatively low (1–3%), the rate may be as high as 40% in disabled populations.9 As such, the injuries that athletes with disabilities are predisposed to and general strategies for prevention are reviewed in this text. In addition, the multitude of benefits that are achieved through physical activity and sport participation are discussed. Some adaptations via adjustments in rules and use of prosthetic devices that allow participation in a more diverse range of athletic activity are also reviewed. Finally, some of the opportunities that exist for athletes with disabilities who wish to participate at high levels of competition such as the Paralympic Games and Special Olympics are highlighted. Given the utility of physical activity for all and the increasing number of athletes with disabilities, it is imperative that health professionals become familiar with the unique challenges faced by these athletes. Knowledge of injuries encountered in this population as well as disability-specific modes of injury prevention is imperative.10

Abstract:
This chapter argues that the integration of digital technology with sport is fast becoming a characteristic of how it is designed, delivered, and experienced. In so doing, it expands our consideration of digital life toward biological technologies, describing how digital technology is transforming the athlete’s biology and how this changes the conditions of future sporting encounters. It discusses the implications of these ideas, which encompass the need to remove sports from their physical worlds and to relocate them in digital space. Furthermore, it acknowledges how the interface between the biological and digital worlds will transform sports and other physical cultures in the future, for instance, through increasingly intelligent prosthetic devices.

Abstract:
Human walking analysis is an important research area of biomedical engineering since it provides accurate information for medical rehabilitation procedures and design of rehabilitation equipment, medical diagnosis and orthopedics, pathological and aging evaluation, design of human prosthesis, and design of humanoid robots. In some applications, such as the design of prosthesis and rehabilitation systems in biomedical engineering, and equipment design and performance analysis in sports engineering, human walking reconstruction under several conditions is required in order to optimize the design. Human walking process is smooth and efficient but it varies from one person to another depending on age, height, gender, weight, health condition, and walking conditions. Most of the research work in the literature has been focused on the analysis of gait patterns of healthy and unhealthy people under normal walking conditions, and they use 2D reconstruction of human walking trajectories. The aim of this paper is to reconstruct and analyse human walking patterns of normal young adults under different gait conditions. A computer vision system to reconstruct 3D human walking trajectories is developed and presented in this paper. Several experiments with young adults walking under several conditions such as carrying a front load, carrying a lateral load, ascending, etc., are conducted. The results of these experiments have shown that human walking patterns vary according to the walking condition and therefore these variations should be considered in the design of prosthesis or rehabilitation systems.

Abstract:
Thrombotic complications, such as hemorrhage or embolism, remain a major concern of blood contacting medical devices [1], including prosthetic heart valves (PHV) and mechanical circulatory support devices, e.g. ventricular assist devices (VAD) or the Total Artificial Heart (TAH) [2]. In most cases device recipients require life-long anticoagulation therapy, which increases the risk of hemorrhagic stroke and other bleeding disorders. In order to obviate the need for anticoagulants and reduce stroke risks, our group developed a unique optimization methodology, Device Thrombogenicity Emulation (DTE) [2–5]. With the DTE, the thrombogenic potential of a device is evaluated using extensive numerical modeling and calculating multiple platelet trajectories flowing through the device. The platelet stress-time waveforms are then emulated in our Hemodynamic Shearing Device (HSD) and their activation level is measured with our Platelet Activation State (PAS) assay. This provides a proxy validation of the simulation. We identify high shear stress producing regions within the device and modify its design to reduce or eliminate those potentially thrombogenic ‘hot-spots.’ Through an iterative process, we can optimize the device design prior to prototyping.

Abstract:
Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) printing with high-resolution stereolithography (SLA) has grown in popularity for creating personalized medical devices. 3D printing is now starting to expand to weight-bearing components, e.g. prosthetic feet, as data on the dynamic properties impact and fatigue is published in the literature. The next step towards using 3D printing in impact applications is to assess the capability of the high-resolution SLA process to manufacture components of uniform impact resistance. Because impact testing is destructive, a surrogate measure to check a part’s viability for resisting an impact load also needs to be established. Thirteen notched Izod specimens were printed on a Form2 SLA printer using the manufacturer’s clear V4, photocurable resin. Once all the specimens were printed, washed in isopropyl alcohol, and cured with ultraviolet light, the impact resistance was quantified using a pendulum impact tester in a notched Izod configuration. Then, the hardness of the specimens was quantified using a HBW 10/250 scale. The impact resistance of the clear, SLA polymer was 0.59 ± 0.14 ft-lb/in. With an upper standard limit of 0.53 ft-lb/in, the process capability index was 0.133. Impact resistance and Brinell hardness were not correlated with a Spearman coefficient of r = −0.108, p = 0.73. Since the process capability index was less than one, 3D printing with SLA polymers is not a viable manufacturing process for creating parts of consistent impact resistance. The current technology would lead to too many rejected parts. Also, Brinell hardness and impact strength were not related. Therefore, there is no non-destructive method to spot-check these components before use.

Abstract:
Human gait represents a highly coordinated multi-dimensional and energy efficient process involving complex precision control mechanisms. Several attempts have been made in the literature to capture every minute detail of this process and develop accurate models. Although available state of art neuromuscular models demonstrate higher degrees of accuracy, the extent to which the shoulder muscles actively drive the arms, their effect on stability and economy during gait are not well established till date. Most of these models are sufficiently accurate to replicate the human gait in upright position, but fail to capture the energy efficiency and analysis while in a bent position such as the start-up posture just before a running event. Moreover performance of existing models degrade while capturing motions around a smooth turn. The prime objective of this work is to clearly bring out the effect of arm swing and posture on the energy efficiency of human gait process. This work can be a potential enhancement to performance of existing state of art neuro-musculoskeletal models, thereby reducing energy expenditure by approximately 7.89%. In this work we present a simple and systematic methodology for deriving the control system model of human gait considering the challenges faced in previous models and includes advanced effects encountered in real life. Although the single inverted pendulum is widely accepted as an adequate model of bipedal motion, but creates accuracy as well as stability issues and is less likely to capture advance dynamics of the human gait process. In addition to the motion of ankle joints, human gait often involves the motion of hip and knee joints for improved balancing, increased flexibility in face of the multitude external disturbances and robustness in terms of fail safe. For optimized results, a multi-pendulum model with forward dynamics approach has been considered in this work. In order to achieve real time performance with good controllability, LQR controller with state feedback techniques has been adapted in the model. Typical observations like swinging of hands out of phase with respect to legs, effect of posture prior to a running event are also analyzed and included into the model. We investigate the control and function of arm swing in human gait process to test three competing hypotheses i.e. (1) The arms are actively driven by shoulder muscles, (2) The arms are passively powered by movement of the lower body, (3) During few initial steps of gait arm movement is actively driven by shoulder muscles and consequently by passive dynamic effect of the thorax, inertia and gravity. Effects of removing arm swing that create stability problems during walking and especially running, resulting in greater variability in footfall positions are also analyzed. A comparative analysis between distance covered, maximum velocity achieved, effort on foot for the same input torque at the hip joint, and energy efficiency computations (work done per step per meter) is carried out for the above mentioned cases with and without hand motion during the gait process. This work finds potential application in development of energy efficient automated robots usually employed in industries, biomimetic, prosthetic, neuro-rehabilitation engineering and sports biomechanics where the energy efficiency and performance under varying postures are at priority. It drives gait modelling methodology towards an advanced low constrained multidimensional approach as is required by modern high end systems and compromise between energy efficiency and speed. This model can be cleverly utilized to suggest the best initial posture for different athletes having different body structures to obtain maximum speed efficiently. Strategic approach towards the development of a flexible and an accurate gait model are analyzed and discussed in detail.
