This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250114219 titled 'Unibody Endoskeletal Transtibial Prosthetic Devices and Digital Fabrication Workflow
Original Abstract Submitted
methods for producing a transtibial prosthetic device include generating a scan of a reference prosthetic limb, wherein the reference prosthetic limb has a reference socket, a reference pylon, and a reference foot. a digital model for the transtibial prosthetic device is generated, wherein the transtibial prosthetic device comprises i) a socket, ii) a pylon comprising a unitary truss structure, and iii) a foot-ankle complex. an alignment of the pylon with the socket and with the foot-ankle complex in the digital model is based on the scan. the method includes fabricating, using the digital model and 3d printing, the pylon and the foot-ankle complex as a unitary single piece.
