Abstract

When a canine presents a serious case of disease, injury or necrosis, it is imperative to perform an amputation procedure, whatever the affected limb is, since it can minimize the risk of developing pathologies related to tissues, joints and spine, associated with an altered gait and/or unequal distribution of forces in their limbs. Thus, improvement alternatives arise such as prostheses which help to improve the quality of life of canines. The article proposes the development of a functional prototype of prosthesis for canines with partial forelimb amputation through the design and 3D modeling of the prosthesis, together with the selection of the material that adapts to the morphological conditions of the canine. Also, a cushioning system is incorporated to minimize the force of the impact with the ground when performing activities such as jumping, running or walking. Finally, the electronic component is included in the design and the respective electronic and biomechanical tests are carried out to verify its correct operation.

前肢部分截肢犬的人工延伸

当犬出现严重的疾病、损伤或坏死时，无论受影响的肢体是什么，都必须进行截肢手术，因为这可以最大限度地降低与步态改变和/或四肢力量分布不均有关的组织、关节和脊椎病变的风险。因此，出现了改进的替代方案，例如有助于提高犬科动物生活质量的假肢。本文通过假肢的设计和三维建模，以及选择适合犬形态条件的材料，提出了前肢部分截肢犬假肢的功能原型的开发。此外，在进行跳跃、跑步或步行等活动时，还加入了缓冲系统，以最大限度地减少与地面的碰撞力。最后，将电子部件纳入设计，并进行相应的电子和生物力学测试，以验证其正确操作。
