Abstract

Long term monitoring of walking in trans-tibial amputees (TTA) is considered important for prosthetic prescription and therapy evaluation. The purpose of this study was to develop a device with the following design criteria: lightweight, easy attachment to the prosthesis, energy and memory capacity for five days and practical in clinical use. The prototype (CAMP: Continuous Ambulatory Monitoring of Prosthetic walking) consists of a cylindrical unit containing an accelerometer, a miniature computer and six batteries. Specifications, data acquisition and processing, instructions for users and first results are presented and discussed. The CAMP prototype proved to be a useful device for measuring relevant aspects of prosthetic use for up to five days.
