Prosthetic Foot

Prosthetic Foot - open-source assistive technology concept by the Pavlodar community

About this project

The team from the Engineering and Economic University in Southern Kazakhstan looked at solutions available in the United States and designed a socket that holds the base of his foot and redesigned the shoe with a more flexible-lightweight material. After trying on the new shoes, Bilayof walked for the first time pain-free and without a cane.

The challenge

Bilayof came to TOM:Kazakhstan wearing an antiquated prosthetic shoe which caused tremendous pain and discomfort to his residual limb.

Who it helps

The need knower is Bilayof.
