Abstract—The lack of proper testing equipment makes it difficult for Indonesia to produce high-quality prosthetic feet that meet national and international standards. Following the ISO 10328 Structural Testing of Lower Limb Prostheses, this study aims to design and enhance a testing machine for prosthetic feet using SolidWorks and ANSYS. The machine, constructed from AISI 1020, SS 201, and AA 6061 materials, underwent a finite element analysis to assess deformation, stress, and safety factors under a maximum load of 322 kg, incrementally applied at a rate of 161 N/s. Results revealed deformation values of 0.16751 mm, 0.16043 mm, and 0.43303 mm, along with safety factors of 2.1439, 2.0921, and 1.8741, respectively. Material selection considerations and von Mises stress simulations led to the choice of AISI 1020. To address localized stress, design optimization introduced a collar, enhancing the safety factor from 2.1439 to 3.225. This comprehensive approach to testing equipment design and optimization is vital for ensuring the reliability and conformity of domestically produced prosthetic feet in the Indonesian market.
