SoftFoot Pro, the new-generation bionic foot
From the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa, already our customer with the resistive sensory maps and always engaged in the development of humanoid robots, arrives at G7 Healthcare a prosthetic foot that reacts like a natural foot and allows it to walk and adapt autonomously to obstacles and different types of terrain: this, in a nutshell, is the idea that led researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology to develop hashtag SoftFoot Pro.
From the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa, already our customer with the resistive sensory maps and always engaged in the development of humanoid robots, arrives at G7 Healthcare a prosthetic foot that reacts like a natural foot and allows it to walk and adapt autonomously to obstacles and different types of terrain: this, in a nutshell, is the idea that led researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology to develop hashtag SoftFoot Pro.
The mechanism of SoftFoot Pro consists of a titanium arch connected to five high-strength plastic chains, which simulate the bone structure of the human foot. Each chain is connected by a pair of elastic bands and crossed longitudinally by a high-performance mechanical cable. This architecture makes it possible to replicate the 'windlass' mechanism, which evenly discharges the force applied during gait, contributing to walking efficiency.
In addition, the freedom of movement of the distal elements that make up each chain allows for increased grip on sloping terrain, improving safety for the SoftFoot Pro wearer. Finally, thanks to the flexibility of the toes and the arching movements of the sole of the foot and back, everyday gestures such as walking up and down stairs or tying shoes are possible.
