Running Prosthetics
Running prosthetics are specialized artificial limbs designed to optimize the performance of athletes with lower limb amputations. Constructed with lightweight materials like carbon fiber, they offer enhanced energy return and reduced weight. Their unique designs, often featuring curved blades or spring mechanisms, mimic natural biomechanics to facilitate efficient propulsion during running. Customized sockets and advanced suspension systems ensure a secure fit and minimal movement restrictions, empowering athletes to achieve remarkable speeds and excel in competitive sports. These prosthetics not only promote inclusivity but also redefine the possibilities of athletic achievement for amputees.
