Requirements Analysis & Concept Definition
Every successful prosthetic solution begins with a clear understanding of the intended purpose, user
needs, and technical requirements. We analyze functional goals, clinical considerations,
performance expectations, and system constraints to establish the foundation for engineering
development.
During this stage, we define:
• User requirements and functional objectives
• Mobility and performance expectations
• Mechanical and environmental requirements
• Component interactions and system architecture
• Development goals and evaluation criteria
By establishing clear requirements early, we create a strong engineering foundation that guides all
future design decisions.
Biomechanical Analysis & System Design
Understanding human movement is essential when developing prosthetic technologies. We analyze
biomechanics, movement patterns, loading conditions, and user interaction to determine how the
prosthetic system should function.
Our engineering activities include:
• Movement and gait analysis
• Force and load evaluation
• Human-device interaction studies
• Functional performance assessment
• Definition of mechanical requirements
The results of this analysis are translated into engineering specifications that guide the design of
prosthetic components and complete systems.
Engineering Design & Digital Development
Once requirements are established, we develop detailed engineering concepts using digital design
methods. Our team creates mechanical architectures, component designs, and integrated system
models that address performance, usability, and technical feasibility.
This stage includes:
• CAD modeling and 3D design development
• Mechanical component design
• System integration planning
• Material and structural considerations
• Digital design refinement
Digital engineering allows concepts to be evaluated and improved before physical prototypes are
developed, reducing development risks and improving efficiency.
Simulation, Optimization & Validation Planning
Engineering concepts must be evaluated and refined to ensure they meet performance expectations.
We use analysis methods to identify design improvements, optimize performance, and prepare
concepts for further testing.
Our optimization process considers:
• Structural strength and durability
• Weight reduction opportunities
• Mechanical performance
• Component interaction
• User comfort and functionality
Validation planning defines how future prototypes can be evaluated, including testing approaches,
performance criteria, and engineering verification methods.
Prototype Development Support & Testing
After engineering refinement, concepts can move toward prototype development and evaluation. We
support this transition by preparing technical information and assisting with engineering
requirements for prototype creation.
Our support includes:
• Prototype specifications
• Engineering documentation
• Test planning
• Design verification support
• Performance evaluation guidance
Although we focus on engineering design rather than manufacturing, we provide the technical
foundation required for successful prototyping and further development.
