One crucial component in a prosthetic limb is the pylon, which serves as the interface between the socket and the foot. Its primary function is to provide stability, support, and shock absorption, allowing users to walk, run, and engage in various physical activities.

3. Pylon. The pylon is the component that provides the connection between the residual limb (leg stump) and the prosthetic foot. For AKA, it is between the knee joint and the foot, and for BKA, it is between the socket and the foot. It allows for shock absorption and helps for building the length of the leg. 4. Foot

2023年1月1日 · People with leg amputations may find it easier to move around with the aid of prosthetic legs or prosthesis. An artificial device known as a prosthesis or prosthetic implant replaces a missing bodily component that may have been lost due to trauma, illness, or a birth defect (congenital disorder).

2019年12月31日 · The two most common lower extremity amputations are the transfemoral (above the knee- AK) and the transtibial (below the knee- BK). The major components of a lower limb prosthesis include the socket, interface (where the liner contacts the skin), suspension, pylon/frame, knee unit (if applicable), foot/ankle complex, hip joint (if applicable).

Below knee limb loss refers to the amputation or absence of the leg below the knee. You may hear this type of surgery referred to as a "below knee amputation" or "BKA". This type of amputation can come be a result of complications of vascular diseases or other conditions that affect blood flow, such as diabetes or peripheral arterial disease.

2021年5月20日 · Pylon or Shank : This lies between the socket and the prosthetic foot. It is made of strong and lightweight material such as Carbon fibre, Aluminium & Titanium. Prosthetic foot & ankle : Designed to provide support during standing/walking and shock absorption.

2007年12月31日 · Lower limbs tubes or pylons are prosthetics components that are claimed to support loads during walking and other daily tasks activities, i.e., in lower limb amputations, when attached to...

The pylon is the internal frame or skeleton of the prosthetic limb. The pylon must provide structural support and has traditionally been formed of metal rods. In more recent times, lighter carbon-fiber composites have been used to form the pylons. The pylons are sometimes enclosed by a cover, typically made from a foam-like material.

show the appropriate color-coded pylon to use. For ordering, use the part number (e.g. el. e into the receiver at the bottom of . he C-Leg. The plug will “click” into place. Insert the pylon into. the C-Leg with the grid facing to the anterior. Make sure . hat the pylon cable does not get “pinched”. Adjust the length by telescopi.
