general principles
pressure
socket/material characteristics
quadrilateral socket
ischial containment socket
pressure –> sockets are
total contact
pressure –> sockets are not
distal end bearing
pressure –> there is sme
minimal pressure on distal end
socket/material characteristics –> could be
rigid vs flexible
socket/material characteristics –> will be
total contact
socket/material characteristics –> the flexible socket will be in a
rigid frame
socket/material characteristics –> what is more comfortable
flexible brim
socket/material characteristics –> has
ease of fabrication
new advances in materials
quadrilateral socket –> had been
standard for many years
quadrilateral socket –> % of what is fabricated today
very small
quadrilateral socket –> when might we see it
if individual has had limb loss for a long time
quadrilateral socket –> designed changed from
plug fit
quadrilateral socket –> originally developed
1950s
