Abstract/Summary
Prosthetic foot shells are designed to fit around lower limb prosthetics to be able to fit shoes and several types of footwear. They are currently designed in a way that they wear through very quickly if used in an active lifestyle. The current designs on the market are designed for geriatric use. The sponsor for this project Mr. Dana Cummings, would like for the team to produce a product that extends current foot shell’s life. This document explains includes the team’s research process, the design process, and the main functions of what the team designed for. It will also show the final verification prototype, instructions on how to add the SoleMates Do It Yourself (DIY) kit to an existing foot shell, and explain how it was tested to finalize the design. Suggestions for future work on the project have been included to help anyone wishing to further iterate on this project.
