Problem: Children in disadvantaged areas often lose their lower leg due to landmines
Problem Statement: Develop a trans-tibial prosthesis that maintains an adaptable and abiding integrity while being able to be produced and maintained with limited resources.
Background
![Page 3: Adjustable, Low Cost, Trans Tibial Prosthesis](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062405/556c8827d8b42a7a738b46ec/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Support normal forces associated with gait
Adjust to account for user growth
Be low cost
Be maintainable in disadvantaged areas
Feasibility Criteria

Modular approach resulted in designing three alternatives per subsystem
Three Subsystems
◦ Socket – Connection to residual limb
◦ Shaft – Major length adjustability
◦ Foot – Accommodation towards varying terrain
