Knee disarticulation prosthesis socket applies to knee disarticulation , residual limb of thigh that is too long (the distance is 8cm from knee joint space), residual limb ofshank is too short ( the distance is 4cm below knee joint space).These amputees can be assembled with knee disarticulation prosthesis. The typical knee prosthesissocket has the following characteristics:
First, as the typical knee disarticulation artificial limb is in use of stump end bearing load, it is more in line with the physiological characteristics compared to thigh prosthesis with the ischial bone bearing load.Internal height of knee disarticulation prosthesis socket is generally not higher than the width of two fingers under the perineum, which won’t cause the oppression to femoral triangle and so on.
Second, knee disarticulation prosthesis uses femoral condyle suspension, it is more convenient to wear when comparing with the thigh prosthesis.
Third, there are location markers in the front of prosthetic socket on knee disarticulation prosthesis. It can effectively prevent the factors of affecting use such as rotation caused by improper prosthesis etc.
According to prosthetic expert and adviser from MEDI-REHATEK, amputees wear knee prosthesis, who can have a very good rehabilitation effect after the effective rehabilitation exercise.
