MyB Prosthetic Limb
BRIEF TECHNOLOGY
- We invented a user-friendly and comfort prosthetic leg that can bend 180˚. This “MyB Prosthetic Limb” can allow ankle movement while performing prostration and kneeling position.
- A user-friendly prosthetic leg that would provide lower limb amputees flexibility and comfort, especially while doing activities such as prostration and yoga.
INSPIRATION OF THE INVENTIO
Lower-limb amputees have identified comfort and mobility as the two most important characteristics of a prosthesis that influenced by biomechanical performance of the prosthesis and the loading it imparts to the residual limb.
PROBLEM STATEMENT & CURRENT ISSUES
- How to improve on current prosthetic to make it more comfortable for daily living?
- MyB Prosthetic Limb helps patients to improve their daily living as compared to conventional prosthetic limb in which the patients need to repeatedly take off their prosthetic to do certain activities.
- Most of the prosthetic that we have in Malaysia, cannot be bend. It can only be used for standing, walking and running
INVENTIVENESS & NOVELTY
MyB Prosthetic Limb will provide a comfortable and user-friendly prosthetic as able to move at the ankle joint level.
USEFULNESS & APPLICATION
MyB Prosthetic Limb can be used during activities that require intricate movements such as prayers under Islamic rituals that requires kneeling position or performing Yoga.
