| Abstract | This paper presents a method to quantify the goodness of gait with a trans-femoral prosthesis in order to evaluate walking skill with the prosthesis and its application to its design. Advancements in the mechanism and the control method of trans-femoral prostheses have drastically improved the gait of amputees. However, realization of a natural gait has not been investigated in detail even though such smooth gait is important to increase the amputee's activities of daily living (ADL). Inertia of the prosthesis plays an important role in natural and smooth gaits during the swing phase. We suppose that goodness of gait or easiness of walking is strongly related to effective use of the prosthesis inertia. Recently, inertia-induced measure has been proposed as a measure to quantify inertia-induced motion of a multi-body system based on the Riemannian distance. In this paper, we will attempt to evaluate the goodness or easiness of walking with a prosthesis leg by quantifying the effective use of the prosthesis inertia based on the Riemannian distance. Gaits with several different inertia properties will be measured. The results will then demonstrate the strong relevance between subjective evaluation of easiness of walking and effective use of inertia evaluated based on the Riemannian distance. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
