Concomitant growth prosthesis

Prosthetic limb care for disabled people

This concept is a prosthesis designed to accompany the physical growth of lower limb amputees. The telescopic calf allows the prosthesis to expand as the young person grows. This solves the problem of short service lives of conventional prostheses, of the need for phased replacement, and of the discomfort of traditional prostheses, especially for juvenile amputees, and assures better mental, physical and psychological care for juvenile lower limb amputees.

JURY STATEMENT

This solution does not disguise the prosthesis but makes it a permanent extension of the body, allowing the young amputee to grow with it and avoid frequent replacement. This is an ingenious solution that reduces discomfort and material waste.
