Abstract

Development in medical technologies enables modification and improvement in procedures to be less invasive to patient. Prosthetic and orthotics technology help people regarding structural disability. The development of Orthotics and Prosthetics in Indonesia has not yet improved and there is no combination between mechanical aspects and electrical aspects regarding prosthetics and orthotics. In the thesis, the author customized an orthosis, which is a leg brace. Standard leg brace is static and the joint lock has to be manually operated. The customization automates the locking operation and assists gait improvement of a polio patient. To enable the patient to automatically control the leg brace, an electromyography (EMG) system was used as signal and input acquisition from the patient. The EMG system provides muscle activity monitoring. The signal from the muscle was amplified and conditioned as a proper input to microcontroller. The signal was then processed to give commands to actuators which are directly involved in the leg brace to retain patient’s walking gait.
