The thermal conductivity of prosthetic sockets and liners.
Elevated stump skin temperatures and the accompanying thermal discomfort are side effects of prosthesis use that may reduce amputee quality of life, particularly in hot or humid surroundings. Lower skin temperatures might be achieved through more effective heat transfer in the prosthesis, a process governed in part by the thermal conductivity of the sock, liner, and socket layers. To assess the...
متن کاملStrength evaluation of prosthetic check sockets, copolymer sockets, and definitive laminated sockets.
A prosthesis encounters loading through forces and torques exerted by the person with amputation. International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 10328 was designed to test most lower-limb prosthetic components. However, this standard does not include prosthetic sockets. We measured static failure loads of prosthetic sockets using a modified ISO 10328 and then compared them with t...
متن کاملTensile strength and impact resistance properties of materials used in prosthetic check sockets, copolymer sockets, and definitive laminated sockets.
Prosthetic sockets serve as the interface between people with amputations and their prostheses. Although most materials used to make prosthetic sockets have been used for many years, knowledge of these materials' properties is limited, especially after they are subjected to fabrication processes. This study evaluated tensile and impact properties of the current state-of-the-art materials used t...
متن کاملA material for direct forming of prosthetic sockets.
For a number of years, prosthetics research groups have been attempting to develop a method of forming sockets directly on amputation stumps, in order to reduce the time required to produce a satisfactory socket and to eliminate the messy working conditions inherent in the use of plaster of paris (1). Direct forming requires a material that: (a) is plastic at temperatures moderately above ambie...
متن کاملComputer aided design of prosthetic sockets for below-knee amputees.
A computer-aided sculpting system for use in prosthetics is described. The prosthetist's sculpting tools now consist of a computer, a graphics terminal, a mouse and an on-screen moveable cursor. Accompanied by the system software, these tools allow systematic modification of a primitive socket using techniques analogous to those used by a prosthetist working with rasps and plaster.
