Pneumatic foot module |
 |
The invention used in the design of the module was awarded
with the gold medal of the 45th World Salon of Invention,
Scientific Research and industrial innovation "Brussel-Eureka-96"
in 1996 and with the silver medal in the 25th International
Salon of Innovation "Geneva-97" in 1997.
The universal artificial pneumatic foot is one of an
advanced design.
There is a capability of foot fullness adjusting. The
sole stiffness adjusting depends on the features and
needs of amputees are provided by the air pumping or
discharging through the refueling valve located on the
upper platform of a foot. It provides comfortability
when walking and adaptation to different conditions
of motions.
The full production of woman's pneumatic foot modules
is planned to begin in 2002. |

4A 053D child's rotator |
 |
The invention used in the design of the rotator was
awarded with the bronze medal of the 45th World Salon
of Invention, Scientific Research and industrial innovation
"Brussel-Eurika-96" in 1996.
The rotator is designed for children weighing up to
45 kg for trans-tibial and trans-femoral prostheses
of all level of amputation.
It is intended to unload the rotation moments affecting
a stump when walking.
The rotation angle is 15°±2°.
The rotation moment is adjustable. Adjusting range of
rotation moment is from 0 to 6,5 N.m.
They are fabricated from aluminum and titanium alloys.
Mass - 270 g. |

5A 035 rocker knee module |
 |
The invention used in the design of the module was awarded
with the gold medal with honour of the 44th World Salon
of Invention, Scientific Research and industrial innovation
"Brussel-Eureka-95" in 1995.
The rocker knee modules is designed for amputees weighing
up to 100 kg.
The module has a device which enables to adjust the
rate of knee flexion.
It is possible to adjust this module together with a
weight-bearing module within the limits of ±7 degrees
at the expense of turn of the non-coaxial bushings located
in the lower part of the module frame.
The maximum flexion angle - 135°.
The main details are fabricated from titanium and aluminum
alloys.
There are two variants of module:
- 5A 035-01 module has a petal adapter. It is designed
for knee joint amputees.
Mass - 875 g.
- 5A 035-02 module has a supporting area. It is designed
for hip amputees.
Mass - 790 g. |

5A 039 single axis knee module with locking under load
|
 |
The invention used in the design of the module was awarded
with the gold medal of the 46th World Salon of Invention,
Scientific Research and industrial innovation "Brussel-Eureka-97"
in 1997 and with the silver medal in the 26th International
Salon of Innovation "Geneva-98" in 1998.
The module is designed for amputees weighing up to 100
kg with a short and a middle trans-femoral residual
limb.
Module flexion is blocked at the flexion angles up to
20° under loading that enables enhances the knee flexion
stability at the leg support-phase.
Module unblocking takes place during module unloading,
and hinge becomes flexible.
It is possible to adjust this module together with a
weight-bearing module within the limits of ±7° at the
expense of a turn of the non-coaxial bushings located
in the lower part of the module frame.
The maximum flexion angle - 135°.
The main details are fabricated from titanium and aluminum
alloys and steel.
Mass - 755 g. |

6A 006D child's hip joint module |
 |
The invention used in the design of the module was awarded
with the gold medal of the 47th World Salon of Invention,
Scientific Research and industrial innovation "Brussel-Eureka-98"
in 1997.
The module is designed for children weighing up to 45
kg, hip joint disarticulation and hemipelvectomy amputees.
The module provides high functionality and allows rotation
motions in the hip joint when walking.
There is the strength and angle adjusting device of
module flexing.
Range of flexion angle when walking - from 0° to 15°.
Flexion angle when sitting - 135°.
The module is fabricated from titanium and aluminum
alloys.
Mass - 1050 g. |

9A 010 man's foot module with sizes from 25 to 28 |
 |
The invention used in the design of the module was awarded
with the silver medal of the 44th World Salon of Invention,
Scientific Research and industrial innovation "Brussel-Eureka-95"
in 1995.
There is a hinge module with variable stiffness heel
bumpers (3 numbers of changeable stiffness heel bumpers:
soft, medium, rigid).
The stiffness of the heel section can also be altered
by varying the tightness of an adjustable nut.
The module has a supporting insert increasing foot elasticity
and durability and console.
The plate position is adjusted to provide a required
stiffness of the fore-part of foot and "toe-off"
phase of gait conditions depending on the amputee's
weight and dynamics.
The adapter are fabricated from titanium alloy. |

9A 010.1 man's foot module with sizes from 25 to 28 |
 |
The invention used in module design was awarded with
silver medal in 47th World Salon of Invention, Scientific
Research and industrial innovation "Brussel-Eurika-98"
in 1998.
The module is similar to 9A 010 module in structure
and materials.
It differs in that it has the sliding stop displacement
device which defines the optimal sliding stop position
for an amputee.
The mechanism provides the possibility of adjusting
the "toe-off" point to different boots.
The module may be used as a technological one. 9A 010.1
module may be changed by the same 9A 010 module in prosthesis
in which the sliding stop is in the similar position
as in 9A 010.1. |

9A 011D child's foot module |
 |
The invention used in the design of the module was awarded
with the bronze medal of the 45th World Salon of Invention,
Scientific Research and industrial innovation "Brussel-Eureka-96"
in 1996.
The module is designed for children weighing up to 45
kg, sizes from 20 to 22.
The supporting insert increases foot elasticity and
foot durability.
The foot module has a universal adapter with a central
and a peripheral bumpers which provide stiffness adjustment
in the sagittal plane and the pronation-supination direction.
The adapter bushing allows changing of the weight-bearing
tube inclination to the sleeve's longitudinal axis up
to ±5°.
The central bumper frame and adapters are fabricated
from aluminum alloy, spherical head is fabricated from
titanium alloy. |
