Abstract :
Mathematical modeling is an interdisciplinary scientific research field with a wide range of applications in bioengineering (biomechanics processes) and rehabilitation. The vast majority of quantitative models of Bioengineering are formulated in terms of differential equations. Modeling and simulating the Biomechanics of rehabilitation process is an area of major interest in the current medical research. In this study, we aimed to develop an interface graphics, allowing the changing rates of transfer between any two compartments of the vital blunt-socket system. One method to obtain the status of recovery and balance is to develop a mathematical model in order to reduce the time of assessment and prediction. Analysis of the strength and the speed of muscle contraction can be described using a model of mathematically hyperbolic, which could open new avenues for the optimal choice of specific transfer rates to the level of prosthesis. An optimal choice for the recovery method gives more chances to maintain and improve the quality of life of the patient after amputation. A wrong choice for recovery methods and of type of dentures can determine major changes in the position and orientation of the foot joints and may cause points pressure maxima stump area. Experimental data collected from pressure sensors can be used to determine if the forces, moments that can change loading rates and determine if it has achieved good contact when the initial prosthesis and residual limb socket.
