PROSTHETIC LEG

PROSTHETIC LEG - open-source assistive technology concept by the TOM International Community community

The challenge

A prosthetic leg is needed when someone has lost part or all of their leg due to an injury, illness, or a congenital condition. The loss of a limb can significantly impact a person's mobility, independence, and overall quality of life.

Who it helps

The need knower for a prosthetic leg would typically be someone who has experienced the challenge of living with an amputation and has used or is currently using a prosthetic leg.

How it works

By making the movement easier, we are improving quality of life for the user.

By Redesigning the prosthetic leg, we are making it cheaper and giving more flexibility for the user by making it easy to walk or run on uneven surface.

Tools needed

Protective glasses

PC or MAC I7 +

Fusion 360

Prusa slicer

Electric Srewdriver

FDM Printer
