Standing Stool

The challenge

Usually, amputees with a short stump cannot use a conventional prosthesis. this solution will help those with short stump to stand hands free without using a prosthesis.

Who it helps

This product is designed for people who have above the knee amputation that have a short stump. this solution will enable amputees from all ages to enjoy standing with both hands free.

How it works

A socket can sometimes cause discomfort or pain for the wearer, especially on the stump. In contrast, using a bareback design helps distribute the weight more evenly, reducing pressure and minimizing discomfort on the stump.
