concept was developed for a representative user measuring 5 ft 10 in and 80 kg. Lower-leg and foot dimensions were selected from anthropometric datasets to guide the overall prosthetic length, socket position, and approximate foot geometry. The socket concept used a carbon-fiber shell with a soft, 3D-printed TPU or TPE liner to support fit and comfort. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a63bad25dbd34319244e98f/ed6c3e43-c928-4ae1-9458-ab377853e229/Screenshot+2026-07-31+195609.png Transtibial Prosthetic - System Concept The proposed system uses two extension springs positioned behind the heel to assist ankle plantarflexion. A motor and gearbox rotate a ball screw, causing a flange nut and attached aluminum plate to translate vertically. The plate tensions the springs, which then apply force to the heel and create a moment about the ankle joint. A square aluminum shaft guides the translating plate and prevents unwanted rotation, while linear bearing carriages support vertical movement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a63bad25dbd34319244e98f/5d75101e-3960-419f-bc34-2bd75b3950a4/Screenshot+2026-08-03+194836.png Transtibial Prosthetic - Main Components Dual Extension Springs Store and release mechanical energy to assist ankle motion. Motor and Gearbox Provide the rotary input required to adjust spring tension. Ball Screw and Flange Nut Convert rotary motor motion into controlled linear translation. Spring Plate Connects the ball screw assembly to the two springs. Square Guide Shaft Prevents the translating plate from rotating. Linear Bearing Carriages Guide the spring plate vertically. Socket and Prosthetic Foot Connect the system to the user and transfer load to the ground. https://poodle-aardvark-aflx.squarespace.com/spothop daily 0.75 2026-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/8602f54e-98bd-4aad-bf79-51e93e645018/imgg-demo-7Oaq5XfL.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755097295027-O5PW41OXHIYOFCGO3XUS/imgg-demo-EpGLe4Je.png
