Abstract:
ObjectiveTo design a weight-bearing pressure casting system for transtibial prostheses to make the total surface bearing socket and to control the stump and bearing during the casting process.MethodsThe weight-bearing pressure casting system was designed. 6 cases weared the socket by this method and traditional patellar tendon bearing socket by hand casting. Socket interface pressure was compared, and the effect of casting was assessed.ResultsCompared with patellar tendon bearing socket, the socket pressure in the socked by this method was distributed more equally throughout the transtibial residual limb during the casting process, and completed the stumps compression and stump-end pressure control.ConclusionWeight-bearing pressure casting system can make the total surface bearing socket, and improve the fit of the socket.
