Diseño y prototipado rápido de una prótesis de pierna y pie para personas con capacidades especiales

Abstract

The present draft certification includes the design of a prosthesis of leg and foot, as well as the adequate selection of materials available in the domestic market, which allow this work to lay the foundations for future research, as well as for possible patents based on the techniques of the proposed design. Provides a plausible solution to the demand for lower limb prostheses (leg and foot) for persons with special abilities, being a boot to the technological development in the area of the Bio-Mechanic, capable of meeting the standards of application, as well as quality and adaptability. Researches about the various solutions that are currently provided to persons who have suffered an amputation of leg and foot; then analyzed possible new solutions to this problem. Once made the theoretical analysis develops a three-dimensional model on the basis of the most acceptable solution found; this model is later passed on to a phase of rapid prototyping using a 3D printer. Finally are analyzed and evaluated the results of the process of rapid prototyping.
