DESAIN DAN SIMULASI SOCKET PROSTESIS BAWAH LUTUT DENGAN VARIASI MATERIAL BERBASIS KOMPOSIT

Each year, the number of disabled people in Indonesia increases. About 2.4 million had some trouble walking 2014. It includes 650,000 individuals who have significant difficulty and ascending stairs. Lower limb prostheses are an option for those unable to walk due leg amputation. One most necessary parts below-knee prosthesis is socket. Almost local prosthetics socket did not give adequate information about specification. a weakness product because there no guarantee safety. The lack references standards makes it difficult manufacturers improve their products compete with imported products. This research focused on design simulation sockets various composite-based materials. method was adapted from ISO 10328 standard as testing foot. result shows that can be used Indonesians calf circumference between 317-345 mm. results show suitable material use carbon fiber composite thickness 3 mm bolt hole 6
