Calculation of the mechanical properties for an amputee hip joint

ABSTRACT

The theoretical based of real forces exerted on the human hip joints are calculated. Newton's law at condition of equilibrium to forces and torques applied on human hip joints is suggested theoretically and then applied to a case of hip joint injure and prosthetic. It was found that the forces act on the hip joint is nearly two and a half times the weight of the certain person. The lost of weight for the amputee have been taken under account in calculation to improve local manufacturing in Sudan
