Abstract
A prosthetic assembly includes a socket and a liner. The socket includes a first interlocking feature and defines an inner volume. The liner includes a second interlocking feature. The first interlocking feature and the second interlocking feature are configured to engage each other when the liner is inserted into the inner volume of the socket. The liner is configured to receive a distal limb of a patient. At least one of the socket or the liner include inner voids extending within walls of the socket or the liner.
Claims22
A prosthetic assembly comprising:
- a socket comprising a first interlocking feature, the socket defining an inner volume;
- and
- a liner comprising a second interlocking feature, wherein the first interlocking feature and the second interlocking feature are configured to engage each other when the liner is inserted into the inner volume of the socket, the liner configured to receive a distal limb of a patient;
- wherein at least one of the socket or the liner comprise a plurality of inner voids extending within walls of the socket or the liner;
- wherein the plurality of inner voids comprise a set of internal channels for electrical components, the set of internal channels configured to receive at least one sensor or transducer and at least one myoelectric wire.
