Prosthetic Leg Applications
When you have to continue your life with physical disabilities, prosthetic legs not only restore your mobility but also improve your quality of life.
What is a Prosthetic Leg?
A prosthetic leg is an artificial limb developed for individuals who have lost a leg, allowing them to walk or regain their mobility.
These devices enable individuals with lower limb loss to continue their daily activities and restore their ability to move.
Designed through the combination of technological advancements and biomechanical designs, these devices are created to meet both functional and aesthetic needs.
Prosthetic legs can be produced in various types, depending on the level of amputation, the user’s lifestyle, and individual requirements.

Types of Prosthetic Legs
Prosthetic legs are typically made from lightweight, durable, and biocompatible materials. Carbon fiber, titanium, and silicone are among the commonly used materials for prosthetics. Additionally, inner liners and soft supports are added to increase user comfort. The design of the prosthesis is customized to fit the user’s anatomical structure, ensuring maximum functionality.
Below-the-Knee Prosthetic Leg (Transtibial Prosthetics)
Below-the-knee prosthetics are designed for individuals who wish to preserve the knee joint. They are lighter and easier to use, offering a more comfortable experience in daily life. They are particularly designed for individuals with an active lifestyle.
Above-the-Knee Prosthetic Leg (Transfemoral Prosthetics)
Above-the-knee prosthetics provide extensive mobility with their design that supports the upper part of the leg. However, these prosthetics are more complex, and as a result, their prices are higher compared to below-the-knee prosthetics.
