Clement's prosthetic isnt durable or have ankle articulation.

 

Skateboard trucks come with the lateral articulation that is needed for a potential skateboarding oriented prosthetic. Trucks have two urethane bushings that sandwhich the axel.

"Clement" is built for skateboarding. The prosthetic is made out of titanium. It has twice the strength of steel with half the weight. The ankle utilizes different durometers of urethane to vary the ammount of flex needed by the user. Clement's height is adjustable and can be attached to modern prosthetic knees.
