METHODS/SOLUTION

A few problems identified with the current

standard prosthesis that is available for the

amputees :
I. Socket Issues or Discomfort
II. One size fits all approach used in the
prosthetic industry leading to poorly fit
prosthesis and issue relating to it such as
back pain, instability and fatigue.
III. Irritation and skin issues such as skin
breakdown, blisters and ulcers.
IV. Constant atrophy of thigh muscle leading to
loose socket.

 There are a few factors that need to be

consider in order to choose the most

suitable material and design for the
prosthesis. These are the few factors that
must be taken into account:1. Safety
2. Weight
3. Flexibility
4. Stability
5. Durability
6. Comfort

CONSTANT ATROPHY
OF MUSCLE LEADING
TO ILL-FITTING
PROSTHESIS
- MOST OF THE
PROSTHESIS
AVAILABLE ARE
MAINLY NONADJUSTABLE AND
EXPENSIVE.

INVENT A PROSTHESIS
WITH ADJUSTABLE
SOCKET SIZE AND
PROSTHESIS LENGTH FOR
COMFORT AND STABILITY

INVENT IT BY USING LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIALS &

DURABLE IN ALL WHETHER.

SUITABLE TO USER NEEDS.

DIFFERENT SET OF
PROSTHESIS NEEDED
ACCORDING TO
USAGE
- TWO DIFFERENT
PROSTHESIS ARE
NEEDED FOR DAILY
USE AND SPORT
ACTIVITY

A INTERCHANGABLE

THEIR ACTIVITY

PROBLEMS

METHOD
TO SOLVE

SKIN IRRITATION &

BREAKDOWN
- BLISTERS, CYST
& ULCER CAUSE
BY EXCESSIVE
SHEER PRESSURE
& STRESS ON SKIN

THE SOCKET SHOULD BE

LAYERED WITH MATERIAL
THAT PROVIDE BALANCE IN
REDUCING FRICTION &
DECREASING THE CHANCES
OF SLIPPING. THE MATERIAL
SHOULD ALSO DECREASE
MOISTURE COLLECTION.
