Properties of Materials and Models of Prosthetic Feet: A Review

Abstract Prosthetic limbs fabricate devices that provide amputees with a replacement for their missing limbs, restoring some function. These artificial feet are not as multifunctional natural feet, but they improve the patient’s performance level. Considering prosthetic in particular, selecting device is based on how favorably matches human foot’s characteristics. designed to meet required values tensile strength, density, corrosion resistance, shear flexibility, durability, and cost-efficiency. The above considerations depend properties of material used, design, manufacturing process applied. In manufacture foot, polymers composite reinforced fibers have been used. Their characteristics confirm constant low weight structure makes it possible agglomeration, distribution, energy storage through walking, making certain rise gait effectiveness. Depending composite’s adjustment terms fiber choice, system, type mixture mass content, prosthesis foot gets change effectiveness ratio unconfined assembled. this paper, biomechanics, materials, models reviewed.
