What is prosthesis PPT?

What is ankle/foot assembly?
The foot-ankle assembly is designed to provide a base of support during standing and walking, in addition to providing shock absorption and push-off during walking on even and uneven terrain. Four general categories of foot-ankle assemblies are non-articulated, articulated, elastic keel, and dynamic-response.
What is a microprocessor foot?
Microprocessor feet are a type of hydraulic ankle/feet that use various sensors to continuously monitor the user’s movement and adjust both the angle and stiffness of the hydraulic ankle in real-time.
What is Sach heel?

What is a microprocessor knee?
A microprocessor knee monitors where you are in your gait cycle, and adjusts for the support you need. Your microprocessor knee will be programmed to your gait (your prosthetist will do this after having you walk in your new knee system).

Multi-axial motion. Some prosthetic feet are designed to mimic the ankle, which allows the foot to move in multiple planes. Multi-axial capability in a foot allows you to raise and lower the forefoot; move the forefoot to the left and right; and roll the foot slightly to the inside and to the outside.
What is artificial foot called?

What is hydraulic prosthetic?
Background: Hydraulic knee prosthesis can provide stance phase control and swing phase control suitable for active persons with an amputation. However, typical commercial hydraulic knees are costly and require frequent maintenance making them inaccessible for persons with an amputation in low-income countries.
