Growth-Accommodating Prosthetics

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Conceptual 'Post' Prosthetic Leg Changes Shape with a Child

— January 21, 2021 — Lifestyle
The conceptual 'Post' prosthetic leg has been designed by Snezana Jeremic as a solution for children who are transtibial amputees in a move to help keep them supported in all stays of their youth. The modern prosthetic is a custom-made solution that will actually grow with the child by allowing for it to be extended in length as they grow. This is done without the need for additional equipment but instead works by having the existing support structure augmented to become incrementally elongated.

The conceptual 'Post' prosthetic leg was designed by Jeremic specifically with children in developing nations in mind to provide them with a single solution that will last them many years instead of requiring consistent replacement to accommodate for growth.
Trend Themes
1. Growth-accommodating Prosthetics - Prosthetics that can grow with the wearer, such as the 'Post' prosthetic leg, provide a cost-effective solution for long-term support.
2. Custom-made Prosthetics - Custom-made prosthetics provide a tailored and comfortable fit for amputees and can be designed to accommodate growth and other individual needs and preferences.
3. Innovative Prosthetic Design - Innovative designs for prosthetics, such as the 'Post' prosthetic leg, can cater to specific demographics and needs, and improve the overall functionality and aesthetics of prosthetics.
Industry Implications
1. Medical Devices Industry - The medical devices industry can invest in the development of prosthetics that incorporate innovative designs and technology to address the needs of different demographics and enhance the overall functionality and comfort of prosthetics.
2. Pediatric Healthcare Industry - The pediatric healthcare industry can benefit from the development of prosthetics that can grow with children and provide long-term support, which can reduce the need for frequent replacements and improve the quality of life for young amputees.
3. Assistive Technology Industry - The assistive technology industry can explore the use of technology and materials in the design and development of prosthetics that can be customized to fit the needs and preferences of individual amputees and provide enhanced mobility and functionality.
