In addition to adjusting to a new way of life, amputees are often challenged with identifying and acquiring an appropriate prosthetic device. In the case of prosthetic legs and feet, the device must align with the patient’s natural gait, activity level, and mobility goals, while also maintaining comfort and safety. Humotech Caplex™ PRO-002 is a wearable device that is used to design and evaluate experimental prosthetic mechanical properties or to emulate and test-drive the mechanical properties of commercially-available prosthetic feet.
