Lower Limb Prosthetics
Lower limb prosthetics are artificial devices designed to replace missing or damaged legs or feet. They help individuals regain mobility and improve their quality of life. These prosthetics can be customized to fit the user's specific needs, allowing for various activities, from walking to running.
The components of lower limb prosthetics typically include a socket, which fits over the residual limb, and a pylon, which acts as the leg's structure. Advanced technologies, such as microprocessor-controlled knees and carbon fiber materials, enhance functionality and comfort, making it easier for users to adapt to their new limbs.
