These may be categorised as the "hands-on" (hand casting) concept and "hands-off' (pressure casting) concept which, in addition to the distinctive casting methods, require different liner materials and components to create the desired loading distribution. Amputees have stated that quality of fit of the prosthetic socket is of highest importance, but, although pressure distribution has long been regarded as important, there is no general consensus regarding socket fit criteria. Furthermore, the casting process is carried out with the limb stationary. During walking the pressure distribution will change constantly throughout the gait cycle. The quality of fit of the prosthesis remains very subjective with little quantitative information regarding the pressure distribution within the socket. The aim of this study was to investigate and to compare the dynamic interface pressure distribution of the two socket concepts for a trans-tibial amputee population. In addition, the impact of the two socket concepts on their daily living activities was assessed. The objective was to relate measured pressure distribution to activity level and patient acceptance and thus increase understanding of what constitutes a good socket fit. The dynamic interface pressure distribution inside the socket of 48 patient's own prosthesis was recorded, using a validated pressure measurement system. The dynamic pressures recorded between the residual limb and the prosthetic socket showed similar distributions between the different casting concepts, although overall the hands-off sockets showed higher pressures than the hands-on group. The results from the questionnaire indicated that the quality of fit of the prosthetic socket had a strong correlation with user satisfaction. Results of this study have shown that the impacts of the two distinct prosthetic socket concepts have on the life of the amputee are very similar. Most of the participants used their prosthetic device regularly, and responded in similar ways regardless of the type of socket worn.

Download or read book Biomechanics of Lower Limb Prosthetics written by Mark R. Pitkin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-10-14 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword from a Clinical Biomechanist, Applied Physiologist and Prosthetist teaching graduate students in Prosthetics & Orthotics. While there are many books on Biomechanics, arguably the quintessential science of limb prosthetics, none addresses the fundamental principles in sufficient detail and depth to be practically useful to the prosthetist, rehabilitation specialist or researcher. Dr. Pitkin’s monograph is an exemplary collection of theoretical principles from his research and o- ers, presented in its clinical and applied biomechanics form. The textbook provides an excellent overview of the many facets of lower limb prosthetic design and engineering for the ardent clinician researcher and student. The book delves into many of the basic concepts that are required knowledge for the clinician and the scientist to have as the foundation for their work. Dr. Pitkin has an e- quent manner in which he reflects on the history and literature to tell the storied evolution of prosthetic design . He takes the reader on a journey to consider his theories, which have substantive foundations to contemplate. By the end of chapter one, we have the basic h- tory and an appreciation for the rationale behind the “rolling joint ankle” with evidence to support his theoretical views.
