Bionic leg prostheses are motor powered artificial limbs that are enabling amputees to pursue fully mobile lifestyles. Most of today’s leg prostheses are passive and require a lot of energy to use‚ this makes them more of a hindrance than a help on people’s lives. Conventional leg prostheses consist of spring structures that store and release elastic energy through each walking stance period and cannot generate more mechanical energy than that is stored during each step‚ this leads to 10-60% more

The data also showcases that lower extremities are more likely to be infected than upper limbs. To prevent a loss of a limb an infection of this caliber has to be acted upon immediately. The deeper the infection the harder it is to recognize. The most common sign is tenderness of the erythematous are of the cellulitis. As I stated before erythema involved
