Working together, the Caplex robotic system and the PRO-002 prosthetic foot will predict the patient’s long-term preference for a particular model. THE SOLUTION In the development of the Caplex PRO-002, Humotech sought a material solution that would provide high torque, flexibility, and durability for key components of the foot. THE IMPACT The high energy storage characteristics of Gordon Composites thermoset springs provide Humotech’s prosthetic foot a natural flex, responding similarly to human calf muscles with the roll and rebound required for the patient to achieve a natural gait.
