Abstract

The adaptor can be at the cup end of an artificial limb for clamping to a stump after amputation; it can also form the lining of an orthopaedic corset. The adaptor surface in contact with the patient is moulded in reinforced synthetic resin which remains capable of limited plastic deformation at ambient temp. The contact surface is bonded to an outer rigid support integral with the prosthesis. Selected areas between contact surface and support are left unbonded so that an inflation fluid can be introduced. This allows a comfortable, non-slip grip to be adjustably maintained as a freshly-amputated stump shrinks. The pockets can be filled when no more adjustment is required.
