Prosthetic system development: low cost orthopedic foot JACFE

Abstract

The design, construction and testing of a prosthetic foot system JACFE, developed at low cost, is presented. The project was proposed using the Systems development methodology, with a controlled evaluation through tests with a real user and a mobile application for the registration of user steps. After several adjustments and tests in the prototype design, favorable results were obtained, until the tests did not damage the prototype. The JACFE orthopedic foot can be operated in low and moderate impact levels, is very easy to arm and has improved walking, muscle relaxation and increased physical activity in the user.
