What are the considerations for transhumeral socket design?

  1. integrity of limb

  2. length/shape of limb

  3. ROM/MMT

  4. load tolerance

New cards

Describe the transhumeral open socket design

  • anterior and posterior wings for suspension

  • lower trimline laterally (between acromion and end of deltoid)

  • used for mid to long transhumeral amputations

Describe the transhumeral closed socket design

  • used for short transhumeral amputees

  • lateral trimline goes proximal to acromion

Describe the importance of the integrated shoulder saddle

  • used for increased axial loading (heavier components and objects being lifted)

  • can be used if trimlines are cut too short (better comfort)
