Abstract

An above-the-knee modular prosthetic system contains an outer housing and connector assembly which may both be adjusted to create a custom-tike fit for a residual limb. The outer housing contains an inner liner which provides circumference and volume adjustability, while an outer shell adjusts for circumference of a residua! limb only, A plurality of additional adjustment components may provide additional customization for the volume, circumference, shape, angle and other physical properties of a residual limb. A connector assembly connects the outer housing to a knee, shank and foot known in the art. The connector assembly contains an upper plate and a Sower plate which are adjustably connected to provide adjustments for the angle and position at which a residual limb is connected to a prosthetic limb.
