For prosthetic patients, a "fit" prosthetic socket is the most important. If the prosthetic socket is unreasonable and uncomfortable, then the most expensive prosthesis can not function well. In the past decades there has been the development of a variety of prosthetic sockets but they need to meet the basic conditions of prosthetic socket, like suspension, stability, support.The specific information can be consulted through MEDI-REHATEK.
MEDI-REHATEK will introduce the requirements of fit socket, to see whether your own prosthetic socket can meet these conditions?
First, the stump must be in full contact with the prosthetic socket, that can not appear gaps.
Secondly,let the prosthetic socket have the contact of the end of residual limb, to achieve "fit" effect.
Third, the combination with the residual limb should be as stable as possible, so that patients can control prosthesis through prosthetic socket in safe and comfortableway.
Fourth, the contact between stump and the prosthetic socket shouldn’t cause soft tissues damage, in order to reduce discomfort as much as possible .
Only achieving the above conditions, your prosthetic socket is really a "fit" one.
