Here's a breakdown of materials used in leg prosthetics in India, categorized by cost:

Cost-Effective:

🦶🏽Socket: Polyethylene (PE): A durable and lightweight plastic, good for initial prosthetics.
🦶🏽Liner: Woven cotton or nylon: Breathable and comfortable, but requires frequent replacement.
🦶🏽Pylon: Aluminum: Strong and affordable, but heavier than advanced options.
🦶🏽Foot: Single-axis foot: Provides basic walking function, but limited flexibility.

Mid-Range:

🦶🏽Socket: Laminated thermoplastics: More comfortable and customizable than PE, offering better suspension.
🦶🏽Liner: Silicone gel liners: Provide superior comfort and better skin protection.
🦶🏽Pylon: Steel: More durable than aluminum, but still heavier than high-end options.
🦶🏽Foot: Multi-axis foot: Mimics natural ankle movement, improving walking and balance.

Premium:

🦶🏽Socket: Carbon fiber composite: Lightweight, strong, and highly customizable for optimal fit and comfort.
🦶🏽Liner: Advanced silicone liners: Offer superior moisture management and pressure relief.
🦶🏽Pylon: Carbon fiber: Strongest and lightest option, ideal for high activity levels.
🦶🏽Foot: Microprocessor-controlled foot: Adapts to different terrains and walking speeds, providing the most natural gait.

The best materials for YOU depend on your individual needs, activity level, and budget.

Did you know? Affordable prosthetics are helping many in India regain mobility! Here's a breakdown of a basic below-knee prosthetic leg:

Socket: This custom-made cup comfortably holds your residual limb.
Liner: A soft inner layer protects your skin and provides suspension.
Pylon: A strong, lightweight tube (often metal or carbon fiber) connects the socket to the foot.
Foot: Mimics the natural foot's movement, with varying levels of flexibility depending on your needs.
These essential parts work together to restore movement and independence!

Classification of Orthotics by Function:

Rigid Orthotics: These orthoses are made from rigid materials like plastic or metal and provide maximum support and control. They are often used for post-surgical support or severe conditions.

Functional Orthotics: These orthoses are made from softer materials and provide a balance between support and flexibility. They are used for conditions that require some degree of movement but also need support, like ankle instability.

Prophylactic Orthotics: These orthoses are designed to prevent injuries or overuse syndromes. They are often used in sports or activities that put stress on certain joints.

Individuals with neurological conditions like cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis.
Amputees requiring prosthetic support.
