Prosthetic foot technology is a field developed to enable amputees to live a normal life and perform their daily activities. Here are some details of prosthetic foot technology:

 

Material Selection: Prosthetic feet are generally made of lightweight and durable materials. These materials include materials such as carbon fiber, titanium and aluminum. These materials are preferred to provide a more comfortable experience for the user of the prosthesis.

 

Balance and Stability: The design of prosthetic feet is important to ensure the balance and stability of the user. A well-designed prosthetic foot helps the user walk, run, and perform other activities naturally.

 

Flexibility and Mobility: Prosthetic feet attempt to mimic the user's natural foot movements. Therefore, modern prosthetic feet are designed to provide flexibility and mobility. For example, some prosthetic feet have components that allow the sole of the foot to flex upon landing.

 

Control Systems: Some prosthetic feet are equipped with electronic or hydraulic control systems so that users can better control their movements. These systems allow the user to adjust walking speed, maintain balance on inclined surfaces, and other advanced functions.

 

Customization: Prosthetic feet can often be customized according to the user's needs and lifestyle. For example, prosthetic feet designed specifically for athletes may have different features to provide higher performance and durability.

 

Comfort and Aesthetics: It is important that prosthetic feet are comfortable for the users. Additionally, the appearance of prosthetic feet may also be important for users. Therefore, the design of prosthetic feet takes into account both comfort and aesthetics.

 

Prosthetic foot technology is constantly evolving and continues to improve the quality of life of amputees through the application of new technologies and innovations
