Outcomes
Low-cost Prosthetic Foot
Description
This goal of project is to create a low-cost prosthetic foot that has a biomechanics response, which enables the user to walk with a natural gait.
Through the Global Health Design program, I was connected to clinicians, faculty and peers who inspired me to do my best work and helped me find my passion. Over 5 years after our initial trip to Ghana, I’m continuing the development of a product conceived in the program.
