Power Prosthesis: Designing for Freedom and Dignity
🤝 Project Background
LKK Design partnered with Gongdao Fengxing to advance power prosthesis design through an innovative intelligent ankle prosthesis. The project aimed to develop a sophisticated prosthetic solution that combines robotic technology with human-centered design principles to restore natural mobility and confidence.
📝 Requirements and Goals
The project focused on creating "WindRunner" - China's first intelligent power ankle prosthesis. The power prosthesis design objectives included achieving natural gait replication, ensuring superior reliability in daily use, and creating an aesthetically refined product that eliminates clinical appearance while enhancing user confidence.
💡 Solution and Design Process
Our comprehensive approach to power prosthesis design integrated multiple engineering disciplines:
Design Research
Through extensive user studies and behavioral observation, we analyzed amputee mobility patterns to establish fundamental design parameters for the power prosthesis system.
Industrial Design
We developed fluid, ergonomic forms using advanced materials that balance biomechanical functionality with contemporary aesthetics, creating a prosthesis users feel proud to wear.
Mechanical Structural Design
The power prosthesis mechanism features precision-engineered components that replicate natural ankle movement. Our structural solutions ensure dynamic response adaptation while maintaining robust performance under various conditions.
Prototyping & Testing
Iterative prototyping and rigorous testing validated the power prosthesis design across both laboratory and real-world environments, continuously refining performance and user comfort.
