Subischial Socket with Vacuum-Assisted Suspension for Persons with Transfemoral Amputation
Ryan Caldwell, CP, FAAOP, and Stef Fatone, PhD, BPO (Hons)
Current transfemoral prosthetic socket designs that encase the hip joint and portions of the pelvis limit range of motion and compromise comfort. Subischial socket design does not impinge on the pelvis when the hip is moved because it has intentionally lower trim lines than a typical transfemoral socket. The flexible socket we have developed allows muscles to move comfortably within the socket as they contract during activity and improves comfort during sitting. The socket is held securely to the leg by suction from a vacuum pump, creating a more firm connection between the residual limb and prosthesis. Increased comfort, hip range of motion, and connectivity between the residual limb and prosthesis provide better functional performance for individuals with transfemoral amputations. Modeling of the socket, quantification of the rectification process, and evaluation of function using motion analysis provides insights into this socket's potential benefits for persons with transfemoral amputation.
