Prosthetic ankle
My uncle was met with an accident, because of that his lower limb was surgically removed.
Now i want to make a active prosthetic ankle for my uncle for walking and bike riding.
So i want to know that how much weight can he bear ?
We are making a prosthetic leg with 2kgs weight, is he can bear that much weight?
Is lower limb amputees can have some movement in thigh part ?
If he continuosly put pressure then is he undergone through any pain?
Please help me with these questions to make a prosthetic ankle which will give hope to so many lower limb amputees.
