How is a below knee prosthetic leg attached?

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 For a below knee prosthetic leg, measurements must first be taken from the patient.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 With this measurement, the patient’s stump mold is revealed.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 With this mold, first a trial socket and then a permanent carbon socket are made for the patient.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 With this socket combined with the prosthetic leg, a below knee prosthetic leg is made.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 Then, a silicone liner is applied to the stump.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 Silicone liner prevents irritation of the stump.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 By inserting the stump with silicone liner into the carbon socket, the installation of the below knee prosthetic leg is completed and the physical therapy process begins for the first use.

What is silicone liner and why is it used?

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 Silicone liner is a sleeve made of silicone material that is worn to prevent irritation of the stump while entering the socket.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 The silicone liner prevents the prosthetic leg from coming into direct contact with the person’s skin and prevents the skin from being subjected to friction or pressure by the prosthetic leg.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 At the same time, the silicone liner ensures that the prosthetic leg adheres tightly to the person’s leg, helping to make prosthetic leg movements more natural and increasing the user’s balance.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 In addition, silicone liners have channels inside them that allow air or water circulation due to sweating, which allows the skin to be ventilated and sweat to be removed.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 Silicone liners come in different sizes and are chosen according to the person’s leg size and prosthetic leg type.

What is a below knee prosthetic leg socket?

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 The below knee prosthetic leg socket is a custom made product for the union of the stump and the prosthesis.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 The socket, which is custom made by taking the patient’s stump measurements, is mounted on the prosthetic leg and inserted into the patient’s stump.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 There are different types of sockets, but in recent years the demand for carbon sockets has increased significantly.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 The reason why carbon socket is preferred is that it is light, strong, resistant to breakage and most importantly, it is very cosmetically aesthetic.

What is the below knee trial socket used for?

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 Below knee prosthesis trial socket is a product applied to people who will receive a prosthesis or to people who will renew their existing socket.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 The trial socket is used before the construction of the permanent carbon socket and allows the patient to get used to the prosthesis.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 Generally, the patient is advised to continue living with this trial socket for a certain period of time (usually an average of 1 week).

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 During this period, what needs to be observed is the fit of the stump to the trial socket.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 If any problem is detected in the stump, necessary interventions are made before the construction of the permanent socket begins.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 Thus, the permanent carbon socket is produced without any problems based on the data from the trial socket.

What is a below knee carbon socket?

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 Below knee prosthesis carbon socket is a type of permanent socket that should be made after the trial socket.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 With this socket, patients continue their daily lives much more safely.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 While problems of deformation or breakage may occur in trial sockets, this problem does not occur in permanent carbon prosthesis sockets.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 Since permanent carbon prosthetic leg sockets are made of carbon material, although they are quite thin, they are very durable and do not have breakage problems.

What is the price of a below knee carbon socket?

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 The price of the carbon socket varies depending on the characteristics of the stump.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 Some stumps have a very thin structure and a small amount of carbon (raw material) is used in these types of stumps.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 On the other hand, some stumps may be thick in direct proportion to the weight, and in this case, more carbon raw material is used.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 However, the material to be used is not limited to just carbon.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 There are many different raw materials available and all of these materials are imported from abroad.

accept check good mark ok tick svgrepo com 2 Therefore, carbon socket prices vary from person to person.
