Biomechanical Prosthetics: Gait Kinematics Lab (2D)
A side-view Canvas2D kinematics diagram of a powered prosthetic leg: the hip drives the thigh, a microprocessor knee regulates swing-phase flexion, and the chain cycles through a controllable walking gait.
This 2D companion drives the exact same phase-based gait equations as the 3D version through a flat side-view stick diagram instead of an orbiting scene, making the hip and knee angle curves — and how stiffness reshapes swing-phase flexion — easier to read at a glance.
Canvas2D side-view leg diagram driven by a phase-based gait model: hip angle follows a sine wave scaled by stride and biased by incline, knee flexion follows a damped swing-phase curve scaled by stiffness.
