lábszárprothézisek

Lábszárprothézisek, also known as below-knee prostheses, are artificial limbs designed to replace a missing lower leg or foot. They are a crucial form of mobility assistance for individuals who have undergone amputation below the knee due to trauma, disease, or congenital conditions. The primary goal of a lábszárprothézis is to restore the wearer's ability to walk, stand, and engage in daily activities.

These prostheses typically consist of several key components. The socket is the part that interfaces directly with the residual limb, providing a comfortable and secure fit. Suspension systems, which can include suction, pin locking, or vacuum, are employed to keep the prosthesis attached to the limb. The pylon is a structural shaft that connects the socket to the prosthetic foot. The prosthetic foot itself is designed to mimic the function of a natural foot, providing shock absorption and enabling rollover during gait.

Modern lábszárprothézisek are crafted from lightweight yet durable materials such as carbon fiber, titanium, and specialized plastics. The design and fabrication process are highly individualized, with prosthetists working closely with patients to ensure optimal fit, function, and comfort. Advanced technologies, including 3D scanning and printing, are increasingly used to create custom-fit sockets. The choice of materials and design features depends on the individual's activity level, lifestyle, and specific needs. Rehabilitation and physical therapy are essential components of the prosthetic process, helping users adapt to their new limb and regain their mobility.
