"Excellent" brand foot can adjust height, round amputation women wear high heels dream

Release date: 2016-06-01

There are various models on the market, but most of them are designed for flat shoes or sports shoes. According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on May 29, recently, American researchers invented a height-adjustable prosthetic foot with an adjustable device at the ankle, the heel can reach up to 5 inches (about 12.7 cm) ) and is capable of supporting a weight of 250 pounds (about 113 kilograms).

This prosthetic name is Prominence, which was studied by Johns Hopkins University mechanical engineering students as a high-level project. Researchers believe that high heels are an integral part of women's lives. The average heel height of American amputated women is 2 inches (about 5 cm), which is lower than the average heel height of American women. For women with amputation, the ability to wear high heels deprives them of the feminine right. So they decided to design a prosthetic that would easily adjust the height without the need for other tools and would not be able to slide in a fixed position.

After many trials, they finally chose to use carbon fiber as the sole to make it flexible and lighter; use two interlocking aluminum sheets as levers to adjust the height; use hydraulics at the ankles to ensure walking Comfort when. The researchers invited several amputated women to try on different styles of shoes, they all said that this foot is comfortable and stable. The person in charge of the project said that it will take some time for this prosthetic to be released in the market. The first problem is to apply for a patent.

In 2012, the American reality show "New York wife" actress Avava? Drescher has shown himself a prosthetic leg that can wear high heels, and the "excellence" can not help but make people compare the two prostheses. The difference between the two is that Drescher's prosthesis is an artificial prosthesis, the position can not be adjusted, and the Johns Hopkins University research can be adjusted, more ergonomic structure, more comfortable walking.
