Cheetah Prosthetic Running Leg

It is a developed type of sport prosthetic legs because of having the modern technique and the best design.

Cheetah prosthetic running leg. It is suitable for patients between 45 147kg. A runner using biological limbs can also adjust the stiffness of leg muscles and the angle at which a foot strikes the ground on the fly to accommodate any changes in. First company we understand each other.

Atrophy- a wasting away of the body or of an organ or part as from defective nutrition or nerve damage. Bilateral amputation- amputation of both legs can be above or below the knee usually the result of trauma 7. Running performance is also aided by a long flat toe and an angled positioning of the blade which puts the runner in a forward-leaning position.

Which will allow you to quickly swing the leg through to keep up with the fast speed of running. It could be used for all types of amputations above or below knee as well as the pelvis one. The resulting Catapult Cheetah Xtend and 1E90 Sprinter prosthesis leg lengths represent the closest attainable maximum IPC-regulated leg lengths from each participant and prosthetic model combination.

Leg lengths were measured from the greater trochanters to the most distal locations of the unloaded prostheses. Made of a proprietary carbon fiber composite the high-performance Cheetah prosthesis was designed to mimic the anatomical performance of an able-bodied runners foot and ankle joint. Even Oscar Pistorious the first double amputee to run in the modern Olympics has.

This type of sport leg prosthesis is fully made of carbon fibers special for running. The carbon fiber blade features a more extreme curve and a dynamic shape that. Modeled after the hind leg of a cheetah Cheetah feet store energy and use it to propel the runner forward.

Kram argues however that because the Cheetahs are made of carbon fiber and are lighter they cant transmit nearly as much force to the ground as. Each running-specific prosthesis RSP is the manufacturer recommended stiffness category for a 70 kg distance runner. The Cheetah Leg is an example of streamlined design that produces power and agility.
