Original abstract
This article describes design of lower limb prosthesis for children using innovative and specific materials. Set of prosthetic attachments for specific sports and play activities for disabled children aged two to ten years. It is a set popliteal lower limb prostheses, which contains five exchangeable options – scooter, snow scoot, skate board, mosaic and jumping stilts. The main idea is based on drafts of the extensions which are compatible with the default stump bearing by using quick coupler. By an atypical movement, this coupler enables quick connection, disconnection or exchange of the individual attachments.
