Abstract
Focus of this research paper is to present new methodology of planning, designing, manufacturing and way of using transtibial prosthesis. Across the globe, almost every 30 seconds one leg is amputated due to diabetes and by 2050, number of leg amputees will double its number in the USA [1, 11]. Idea of proposed methodology is to simplify and enhance existing process of manufacturing transtibial prosthesis. In addition, existing process of manufacturing is time-consuming, and artisan dependant. Enhancements suggested in this research are acquired using technologies of 3D scanning and additive manufacturing (AM). Transtibial prosthesis main functions are to guide and protect the residual limb. It uses forces from limb to make a movement. Prosthesis main parts are socket, pylon and foot. In this research serial produced pylon and foot were used while socket was designed and manufactured with the help of Computer aided designing and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) according to model obtained using 3D scanner. New way of using transtibial prosthesis is suggested in this research. Throughout the day, leg stump volume is changing and so is the need for socket pressure. Presented socket has feature to change its width and pressure on the leg stump using three fasteners located on median and posterolateral walls of the socket. Accordingly, socket can easily be adapted to users needs and quality of life is expected to improve.
Abstract (croatian)
Ideja ovog diplomskog rada je prezentiranje nove metodologije planiranja, izvedbe, proizvodnje i načina korištenja transtibijalne proteze. Skoro svakih 30 sekundi jedna je noga amputirana zbog posljedica komplikacija dijabetesa, a prema predviđanjima do 2050. će se udvostručit broj osoba s amputiranom nogom u SAD-u [1, 11]. Cilj predložene metodologije je pojednostaviti i unaprijediti postojeći proces proizvodnje transtibijalne proteze. Osim toga, postojeći proces proizvodnje je dugotrajan i ovisi o iskustvu protetičara. Unaprijeđenja predložena u ovom istraživanju dobivena su korištenjem tehnologija 3D skeniranja, modeliranja i tiska. Glavne funkcije protisibijalne proteze su voditi i zaštititi preostali dio noge. Proteza koristi sile uda kako bi prenio silu i omogućio kretanje. Glavni dijelovi proteze su ležište, stup i stopalo. U ovom istraživanju korišteni su serijski proizvedeni stup i stopalo, dok je ležište dizajnirano i proizvedeno uz pomoć CAD/CAM tehnologija prema modelu koji je dobiven 3D skenerom. U ovom je istraživanju predložen novi način korištenja transtibijalne proteze. Kroz cijeli dan mijenja se volumen nogu, tako i potreba za pritiskom ležišta. Predstavljeno ležište ima karakteristiku da promijeni svoju širinu i pritisak na nogu pomoću tri kopče. Kopče se nalaze na medijanoj liniji i na posterolateralnim zidovima ležipta. Sukladno tome, ležište se lako može prilagoditi potrebama korisnika i posljedično se očekuje poboljšanje kvalitete života.
