The present invention relates to a foot and ankle prosthesis called Fpros21 that allows the foot to move in the plantar flexion/dorsiflexion and eversion/inversion directions and comprises four groups: a set of aesthetic covers, a connection group for connecting the socket to the leg, an ankle mechanism, and a prosthetic foot. Fpros21 can function in ordinary use mode with a range of foot motion following a gait cycle with 15° of dorsiflexion and −28° of plantar flexion, and in hyperflexion use mode with a range of foot motion, in particular with −35° of plantarflexion, to perform actions related to driving a automobile. The prosthesis is created in 11 steps, including the design and manufacture of its various components, as well as the respective tests that verify its proper functioning.
A lower limb prosthesis for the foot and ankle composed of 36 components and comprising:
A lower limb prosthesis for the foot and ankle, characterized in that the FPROS21 prosthesis manufacturing process is comprised of 11 steps, which are described from step 1 to 4 sequentially, from step 5 to 10 concurrently, and eleventh step refers to the verification of the prosthesis according to a test protocol.
