| dc.description.abstract | The human foot is an element of extreme importance at a structural level, as it provides support and body posture, also allowing locomotion. Its anatomical structure can present different forms and behaviours, varying from person to person. However, it can evolve with congenital anatomical malformations, being the target of severe solutions/treatments, leading to the appearance of several lesions and deformities. Some of the injuries and deformities can be corrected only by resorting to surgery, that is, partial or total removal of the organ, other cases can be mitigated or even avoided if procedures are taken and behaved in everyday life. The proper choice of footwear is one example, but the solution may involve the use of biomechanical devices indicated for each situation. The present work aims at studying emerging technologies for modelling and manufacturing a prosthetic foot. Prosthetic feet are essential for a lower limb amputee, as this device will allow the patient to walk as naturally as possible. Modeling and simulation were resorted to using the Solidworks software, in which it was printed on a 3D printer in Onyx+Carbon Fibers. The simulations carried out in Solidworks, according to the finite element method, indicate that the prosthetic foot developed is not the most suitable to be produced, since at the beginning of the gait it will break and deform with some ease. To this end, the two pieces were joined together, and the thickness increased for later 3D printing. This project allowed to start the creation of a prototype evaluation methodology and to understand through simulations the defect level of the current model, thus helping the evaluation of future models where it is sought to improve the printing quality and the design of the models. | |
