A novel prosthetic system to provide reciprocal locomotion in children and adults with complete transverse lower limb deficiency is described. This is based on the hip joints from the ORLAU ParaWalker, a system with a proven record of success in the orthotic management of paraplegic patients. The fitting of the prototype system to an eight year old girl is described. This experience shows that the orthotic principles of the ParaWalker, which provides reciprocal locomotion for the paraplegic, is equally applicable to the prosthetic situation. Developments are therefore continuing to improve the design and to enable further fittings.
本文描述了一种新型假肢系统，用于为患有完全性下肢横断缺损的儿童和成人提供交互运动。该系统基于ORLAU ParaWalker的髋关节，该系统在截瘫患者的矫形治疗方面有着成功的记录。文中还描述了该原型系统在一名8岁女孩身上的适配情况。这一经验表明，为截瘫患者提供交互运动的ParaWalker的矫形原理同样适用于假肢情况。因此，相关研发工作正在继续，以改进设计并实现更多的适配。
