摘要

为低收入国家设计了一种新型、高性能、美观、坚固、成本合理、可大规模生产的假肢足,并进行了现场测试。这种坚固耐用的脚是为了适应印度用户独特的经济、环境和文化要求而设计的。先前的原型,使健全的步态被修改,包括一个耐用的化妆品覆盖,而不改变整个脚的调整刚度。经过机械台式测试后,脚被分发给印度的假体用户至少5个月。之后,参与者进行临床测试以评估步行性能,并对现场测试的脚进行额外的台式测试以确定性能的变化。加固后的脚经受了100万次疲劳循环而没有失效,并显示出所需的刚度特性。与斋浦尔足相比,受试者用加固足行走的速度明显更快(0.14 m/s),并且在使用数月后,足部没有明显的损伤迹象。此外,现场测试的脚与一组未使用的控制脚的刚度几乎没有区别。来自参与者的轶事反馈表明,脚提高了他们的速度和/或行走的努力,但可能受益于踝关节的更多自由度。结果表明,该脚满足设计要求;然而,需要更多的参与者在更长的时间内进行进一步的实地测试,以确保这种脚适合在发展中国家使用。

Design and Evaluation of a High-Performance, Low-Cost Prosthetic Foot for Developing Countries
A novel, high-performance, cosmetic, rugged, appropriately-costed, mass-manufacturable prosthetic foot for use in low-income countries was designed and field tested. This ruggedized foot was created to accommodate the unique economic, environmental, and cultural requirements for users in India. A previous prototype that enabled able-bodied like gait was modified to include a durable cosmetic cover without altering the tuned stiffness of the overall foot. After undergoing mechanical benchtop testing, the foot was distributed to prosthesis users in India to for at least 5 months. Afterwards, participants underwent clinical tests to evaluate walking performance, and additional benchtop testing was performed on the field-tested feet to identify changes in performance. The ruggedized foot endured one million fatigue cycles without failure and demonstrated the desired stiffness properties. Subjects walked significantly faster (0.14 m/s) with the ruggedized foot compared to the Jaipur foot, and the feet showed no visible sign of damage after months of use. Additionally, the field-tested feet showed little difference in stiffness from a set of unused controls. Anecdotal feedback from the participants indicated that the foot improved their speed and/or walking effort, but may benefit from more degrees of freedom about the ankle. The results suggest that the foot fulfills its design requirements; however, further field testing is required with more participants over a longer period to make sure the foot is suitable for use in developing countries.
