    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Engineering
    • Prosthetics and Orthotics
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Badly formed or difficult above-knee stumps present significant challenges in prosthetic fitting and amputee rehabilitation.
    • Existing prostheses often cause pain due to local stump-socket contact, leading to patient dissatisfaction and non-compliance.
    • Effective prosthetic solutions for complex stump anatomy are crucial for successful amputee care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and present a novel prosthesis designed to overcome the limitations of conventional sockets for above-knee amputees with difficult stumps.
    • To introduce a socketless prosthesis based on the principle of minimizing or eliminating stump-socket contact to alleviate pain.
    • To provide an improved prosthetic option for amputees experiencing discomfort with traditional socket designs.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a hanging stump prosthesis featuring a socketless design with a padded ischial seat and a metallic ring.
    • Attachment of the metallic ring to a hollowed wooden thigh piece via medial and lateral vertical bars.
    • Integration of the metallic ring with a pelvic belt through a hip joint, allowing for standard prosthetic components distally.

    Main Results:

    • The developed prosthesis operates on a 'no socket, no contact, no pain' principle.
    • It aims to directly address the pain experienced by amputees due to local contact between the stump and the prosthesis socket.
    • The design offers a potential alternative for amputees with challenging stump conditions who find conventional prostheses inadequate.

    Conclusions:

    • The hanging stump prosthesis represents an innovative approach to managing difficult above-knee stumps.
    • By eliminating the socket, this design offers a promising solution for reducing prosthetic-related pain and improving patient comfort.
    • Further clinical evaluation is warranted to establish the long-term efficacy and benefits of this socketless prosthesis in amputee rehabilitation.
