Area of Science:

  • Prosthetics and Orthotics
  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Individuals with amputations can benefit from temporary training prostheses to improve rehabilitation outcomes.
  • Early use of a training prosthesis can prepare patients for long-term prosthetic use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and construct an adjustable temporary training prosthesis for individuals with transtibial amputation.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and initial performance of the designed prosthesis.

Main Methods:

  • Multiple temporary training prosthesis designs were simulated using SolidWorks.
  • Prototypes were fabricated and tested on five able-bodied subjects.
  • The final design focused on comfort and functionality, with adjustable components and no end-bearing on the residual limb.

Main Results:

  • SolidWorks simulations indicated the device can withstand loads up to 200 kg.
  • Able-bodied subjects reported comfortable weight distribution primarily on the thigh section.
  • The prosthesis features adjustable thigh positioning, angle, and shank width for personalized fit and function.

Conclusions:

  • An adjustable temporary training prosthesis was successfully designed and pilot tested.
  • Further trials are planned with experienced prosthetic users and individuals with new transtibial amputations.
