With an increase in lifestyle-related diseases, the number of patients with deformed feet due to vasogenic lesions such as diabetes has increased. In particular, prostheses are required to adapted to their own body shapes due to foot loss. However, there is a problem that the material used for the production of the current prostheses requires a certain period of time to cure. The purpose of this study is to apply the jamming transition phenomena and to develop an element with stiffness change characteristics at any time. In this study, a prototype of a jamming element is manufactured, and the shape reproducibility is examined to clarify the sampling characteristics.
