Amphibious Prosthesis
Posted in: amputee, leg, prostheticIt’s easy to take for granted little things like running on the beach & swimming. Murr-ma is a specialized prosthesis that extends these experiences to amputees or those with mobile disability. Inspired by the dorsal fin of the sailfish, the fins channel the water flow alongside the carbon fiber backbone & out at the sides, providing the wearer with the necessary thrust to move through the water. The split toe design also makes it possible to easily transition from sand to surf.
Designers: Julia Johnson, Thomas Essl, Yuki Machida & Damien Rocca
