Introducing Geminus, a groundbreaking prosthetic solution meticulously crafted to empower individuals with upper extremity amputation by seamlessly transitioning between running and walking for daily routines and emergencies. Recognizing the distinct requirements of various activities, Geminus is tailored to address the shortcomings of traditional prostheses.
In the realm of prosthetics, a running blade excels in providing the necessary bounce but inadvertently leads to uneven leg lengths. On the contrary, a walking prosthesis, though durable, lacks the essential support for running. Geminus bridges this gap with ingenious design, allowing for swift and effortless shifts between running and walking modes. A precision safety lock ensures exact control during transitions.
Imagine this: as users slide down the running blade, the walking support intuitively retracts, poised for the next activity. This dynamic capability not only enriches the user experience but also contributes to a more natural and adaptable prosthetic solution.
The design philosophy behind Geminus is centered on enhancing convenience and quality of life, aiming to empower amputees to live with the same ease as individuals with uninhibited mobility. Geminus is not just a prosthetic; it's a testament to the seamless fusion of technology and compassion, enabling users to effortlessly follow the rhythm of their hearts in any situation.
