Impressive Football Prostheses

The Impetus Soccer Prosthesis Enables Amputees to Play More Sports

— October 31, 2013 — Lifestyle
A great number of leg amputees would probably not be satisfied with the availability of only wheelchair-based sports in which they can participate. The Adidas Impetus Soccer Prosthesis is a cutting-edge development that would certainly enable athletic disabled people to get back into the game.

Aurélien Dantin began with the initial model of the running blade as the base for this design, indicating that this one would be made from 3D-printed titanium. The front of the foot would then be defined by a separate component of the same metal material, making up the hard shell of the Adidas Impetus Soccer Prosthesis. The prosthetic leg would then be enhanced with screw-on cleats, as well as customizable foot kicks and shin guards that could display the colors or logos of a specific football team.
Trend Themes
1. 3d-printed Prosthetics - The use of 3D printing technology to create prosthetics offers customization and improved functionality for amputees.
2. Sport-specific Prostheses - Designing prosthetic limbs tailored for specific sports opens opportunities for athletes with disabilities to participate more fully in their chosen sports.
3. Customizable Prosthetic Accessories - The ability to personalize prosthetic accessories, such as foot kicks and shin guards, allows individuals to showcase their individual style and allegiance to sports teams.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can explore the development and implementation of advanced 3D printing technology to create customized prosthetics for amputees.
2. Sports Equipment Manufacturing - Sports equipment manufacturers can focus on designing and producing sport-specific prostheses to cater to the unique needs of athletes with disabilities.
3. Fashion and Accessories - The fashion and accessories industry can tap into the market for customizable prosthetic accessories, offering stylish and personalized options for individuals with prosthetic limbs.
