- Abstract
Currently, in Indonesia, lower limb amputees were utilizing a static cosmetic foot prosthesis which is not efficient. The development of a cutting-edge foot prosthesis which can store energy is need to be conducted. The Energy Storage and Return (ESAR) foot prosthesis is designed to store energy during the initial stance phase (heel strike) and release it as propulsive energy in the later stance phase, enhancing walking efficiency. In this study, carbon fibre material is used to produce ESAR foot prosthesis using vacuum bagging curing method. The finished product was analysed using cross-sectional micrography and tested with ISO 10238:2016 compression testing standards. The micrography analysis shows a small imperfection in the form of void and delamination. The compression test resulting in respectable capability of the carbon fibre ESAR foot prosthesis to store and releasing the energy when used for walking. This product is expected to be an upgrade for the amputees, and minimizing the import of the related product for Indonesia.
