description
We are designing an adjustable lower-limb prosthetic for pediatric patients. Our project aims to decrease the overall cost of a prosthetic by lowering the frequency of visits to the prosthetist for adjustments. Our prototype will ideally be compatible with industry standard connectors and attachments and can be easily adjusted by the user themselves.

-We have created the fine adjustment module using a bike clamp mechanism. Our next steps will be implementing a crutch mechanism and adding a pyramid adapter to the bottom.
