Dear List,

I am looking for a complete journal of Transfemoral socket design and
suspension options by Susan Kapp.
See the brief description below. Would anybody know where I can download
it from or would one of you have a copy of it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Thanks Antje/Opcare Ltd

 

 

Transfemoral socket design and suspension options.

Author: KAPP SL
Journal: Phys Med Rehabil Clin North Am
Issue: 11, 569-583
Year: 2000
Description: The trans-femoral socket is the interface between the
patient's residual limb and the remaining prosthesis. Whether the
patient uses a technologically advanced knee mechanism and foot or a
single axis, constant friction knee and solid ankle cushioned heel, no
other prosthetic component is as crucial in assuring a comfortable and
well- functioning prosthesis as the socket. The rationale of
quadrilateral and ischial containment socket designs is discussed and
suspension options reviewed.
