This document provides instructions for building a basic prosthetic leg model using common household items. The materials needed include a paper towel roll, duct tape, rulers, a lint roller, sponge, bolts, nuts, an optional ace bandage, scissors, and a nail. The 5 steps describe how to attach the rulers and sponge to the lint roller to form the leg structure, puncture the paper towel roll and attach it, cut a notch for joint movement, insert a PVC pipe for stability, and finish by adding a sponge, ace bandage, and shoe.

1. Prosthetic Leg Model

2. Materials Needed:

3. Steps to Build a Basic Prosthetic Model
Step 1: Align rulers to desired height
and affix in parallel fashion to sticky part
of lint roller. Duct tape in place.
Step 2: Cut sponge in half. Run bolt
through bottom holes in ruler through
sponge. Fasten with nut.

4. Building a Prosthetic Step 3:
Align hole in top of lint roller to
desired location. Puncture paper
towel roll with nail or other item.

roll making sure that it runs
through the hole in the lint roller.
Fasten tightly.

5. Building a Prosthetic Step 4:
Use scissors to cut a notch in the
back of the paper towel roll to
allow for joint movement.

6. Building a Prosthetic Step 5:
Insert PVC pipe section into top of
leg for stability. Duct tape
remaining sponge to the top of
the pipe/towel roll and cover with
