Structural analysis and functional behaviour of Running Specific Prosthesis during in-vivo field tests and laboratory bench tests

Design of an acquisition system that allow to collect data about the load acting at the foot clamp of the prosthetic foot during running. The in-vitro calibration of the system was performed with a test bench, instead, the validation was performed in two different ways: in-vitro validation and in-vivo validation, with the runs of the athletes. One athlete have a transtibial amputation and the other a transfemoral amputation. The data obtained are then compared with data of a forceplate.
