    Area of Science:

    • Prosthetics and Orthotics
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Conventional prostheses often present challenges in durability, comfort, and fabrication.
    • There is a need for advanced prosthetic designs that address these limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe three fundamental types of extension prostheses.
    • To present four distinct methods for fabricating these prostheses using specific materials and socket designs.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized rigid, total-contact, polyester laminate sockets for prosthesis construction.
    • Detailed four distinct fabrication approaches tailored to different prosthesis types.
    • Referenced figures and tables for clear illustration of types and methods.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The described prostheses demonstrated significant durability, with repairs mainly limited to straps and foot coverings.
    • Fabrication methods proved efficient, leading to lighter and more comfortable devices.
    • The study indicated specific methods suitable for each of the three prosthesis types.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed polyester laminate socket prostheses offer a durable and lightweight alternative to conventional designs.
    • These prostheses provide enhanced comfort, efficiency, and appearance.
    • The described fabrication techniques facilitate speed and ease of production.
