Dear list readers,
I was wondering if any one out there could give a college student a
hand. I am a senior ME at Villanova and my design group and I have
chosen to design and hopefully build a lower leg(below the knee) aquatic
specific prosthetic for our Professor. We have been considering and all
aluminum design with possibly some kind of plastic/rubber molded fin
shape for the foot. We are looking mainly looking for of a functional
limb a no hassle well designed swimming prosthetic for recreational use
in salt, fresh and chlorinated water. This won’t be something that will
be used for extended periods. We are currently working from his old
prosthetic. I am wondering if anyone can help with ways of going about
designing some thing of this nature. If someone has any ideas, internet
sources or old fashioned books or any thing else that would help I would
be very grateful.
Thank you,
