The newspaper El Universal reviews the main advances in the area of prosthetics and orthotics in Mexico. Among the developments to be highlighted is the foot prosthesis developed in the Biomechatronics Laboratory.

Joel Carlos Huegel, research professor in the area of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics at the ITESM Campus Guadalajara, pointed out that some of the main causes for which a person suffers an amputation are poorly treated diabetes resulting in gangrene, due to an accident or illness congenital

The Biomechatronics Laboratory in charge of Professor Joel Carlos Huegel designed a foot prosthesis and a hip rehabilitator.
