Prosthetic Footshell

Some major issues for lower limb amputees are health of the residual limb, comfort, and proper suspension of the prostheses. We are working with Protesis Imbabura, located in Ibarra Ecuador. The footshell is designed to mimic a foot to allow for wearing shoes and for enabling patients to have their prosthetic look somewhat like a real leg. Footshells are attached to the bottom of the prosthetic limb.
