However, the immense popularity has also hindered further research because minimal efforts have been made to investigate the scope of improvement of the Jaipur foot, particularly with new materials.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>This article focuses on numerical and experimental analyses of various materials for the performance enhancements of the Jaipur foot.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Contemporary materials are used in finite element analysis to filter the most suitable alternate material for microcellular rubber. The performance of the Jaipur foot fabricated with alternate material is compared with the conventional Jaipur foot through compression testing simulating gait cycle conditions.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The EVA foot showed 1-3 mm higher deformation than the MCR foot during the dorsiflexion or heel strike phases, which indicates an appropriate shock absorption and energy storage capacity in heel striking conditions. In forefoot strike phase or plantarflexion, the EVA foot and MCR foot showed identical behavior in deformations. Replacing the MCR with EVA also resulted in reduced weight of the Jaipur foot by 23%.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The weight reduction can help the amputee to expend less energy, thereby improving patient comfort and walking patterns and hence a more natural performance similar to a regular human foot.</p>","PeriodicalId":49657,"journal":{"name":"Prosthetics and Orthotics International","volume":" ","pages":"497-502"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138446789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
