Abstract
The invention relates to a prosthetic socket (1), comprising a base (10) for distal connection means for attaching a prosthesis component to the prosthetic socket (1) and comprising at least one side wall (20), which extends from the base (10) in the proximal direction and at least partially extends around a stump to be held in the prosthetic socket (1), at least one support (40) for fastening the side wall (20) to the base (10) being arranged on the base (10).
Claims16
A prosthetic socket (1), comprising a base (10) for distal connection means for attaching a prosthesis component to the prosthetic socket (1) and comprising at least one side wall (20), which extends from the base (10) in the proximal direction and at least partially extends around a stump to be held in the prosthetic socket (1), characterized in that at least one support (40) for fastening the side wall (20) to the base (10) is arranged on the base (10).
The prosthetic socket according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one retaining device (14) for a liner or a stump is arranged on the base (10).
The prosthetic socket according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the side wall (20) is interlockingly fastened to the base (10).
The prosthetic socket according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the side wall (20) is formed from a plurality of components (21, 22) or two or more side walls (20) are formed, which can be aligned with each other or loaded toward each other by means of at least one tightening device (50).
The prosthetic socket according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one support (40) is foldably arranged on the base (10).
The prosthetic socket according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the support (40) is designed as a rail extending in the proximal direction.
The prosthetic socket according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that interlocking elements (45) for fastening the side wall (20) are arranged on the support (40).
The prosthetic socket according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one guide (23, 24) for receiving the support (40) is arranged on the side wall (20).
The prosthetic socket according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the side wall (20) is fastened to the support (40) by means of interlocking elements (42).
The prosthetic socket according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that markings (26, 46) and/or material weakening points (27, 47) are arranged or formed on the side wall (20) and/or the support (40) as predetermined breaking lines or predetermined cutting lines.
The prosthetic socket according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one support (40) is arranged medially or one support (40) is arranged medially and one support (40) is arranged laterally on the base (10).
The prosthetic socket according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the side wall (20) is designed as a cross-section open in the peripheral direction, with edge regions overlapping with each other.
The prosthetic socket according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the at least one side wall (20) has different material stiffnesses and/or different material thicknesses.
