    Summary

    A new method allows for same-day artificial limb fitting after amputation wound healing using preformed sockets. This safe approach speeds up amputee mobilization and rehabilitation.

    Area of Science:

    • Prosthetics and Orthotics
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Traditional prosthetic fitting often involves lengthy waiting periods after wound healing.
    • Delayed prosthetic fitting can impede early patient mobilization and rehabilitation outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel method for rapid prosthetic limb fitting.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this early fitting approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing preformed sockets for above-knee and below-knee amputations.
    • Fitting artificial limbs within one hour of wound healing confirmation.

    Main Results:

    • The described method is safe for amputees.
    • This technique facilitates earlier mobilization and rehabilitation compared to existing methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Preformed sockets offer a safe and efficient solution for early prosthetic fitting.
    • This method significantly improves the rehabilitation trajectory for amputees.
