The concept
Despite extensive research in the field of prosthetics, users face certain problems with existing artificial limbs. Replacing the pistons, motors and struts with organic mechanisms, designer Randall Puzzitiello has come up with a new prosthetic concept dubbed the “Symbiosis” that helps the users perform their task in a more efficient manner. Developed for Adidas, the new aid not only improves the function of the leg but also the aesthetics, thanks to the sporty design.
