More Streamlined, Intuitive, and More Powerful than Ever Before.
We are thrilled to announce the latest refresh of Humotech’s PRO-002, marking a significant advancement in prosthetic foot emulation technology. Our dedicated team has focused on enhancing user interaction and experience, ensuring that the PRO-002 meets the highest standards of innovation and usability.
PRO-002 Ankle-Foot Prosthesis
The PRO-002 (rev 3) is a tethered prosthetic foot with high torque output comparable to PRO-001 that includes adjustable foot length, heel stiffness, and worn weight. It can accommodate a wide range of user foot sizes (approximately shoe sizes 26cm to 29cm).
What’s New in the PRO-002?
Enhanced User Experience
- Streamlined Design: The PRO-002 now boasts a much more streamlined design, making it easier and more intuitive to use.
- Improved Cable Management: We’ve significantly improved cable management, reducing clutter and enhancing the overall aesthetics and functionality of the device.
Structural Improvements
- Reduction of Parts: The PRO-002 now features fewer parts overall, making it more reliable. With fewer components, assembly and maintenance are now simpler and quicker.
Advanced Functional Enhancements
- Additional String Potentiometer: The string potentiometer allows for direct measurement of heel deflection which, along with characterization of the individual heel springs, allows for a close approximation of the torque applied by the heel.
- Combining this with the measured torque from the forefoot we can now provide real-time measurement of the net torque about the ankle axis, estimation of COP, and estimation of the pylon orientation to the contact plane (from the sagittal reference)
- Reduced Force Requirement: By reducing the needed force from the rope with a single-stage 2:1 pulley reduction, we’ve been able to reduce the overall profile and reduce the needed force from the bowden cable. The resulting reduction of internal friction offers improved control for the PRO-002, making movements smoother and quieter.
- Greater Range of Net Torques: With more heel spring options available, users can achieve a greater range of net torques, tailoring the device to their specific needs.
Performance and Accessibility
- Consistent Inertia: The relocation of added weight from the forefoot to the upper structure ensures consistent inertia, improving the stability and predictability of the device.
- More Clearance: Increased clearance around the pyramid adapter provides more access for operator with setting up the pylon and simulator boots.
- Enhanced Accessibility: The PRO-002 is now more accessible than ever, being available in a wide range of sizes, ensuring that more people can benefit from its advanced features.
