摘要:
A modular prosthetic socket for a residual limb of a lower extremity of a patient may include an adjustable height ischial seat for facilitating the distribution of body weight away from the distal end of the residual limb and channeling the weight preferentially through the ischial tuberosity. In one aspect, the modular prosthetic socket may include a base plate, multiple longitudinal struts, and an ischial seat pad adjustably coupled with the proximal end of a medial strut, such that the ischial seat pad is vertically adjustable relative to the medial strut to adjust a total length of the medial strut measured from a proximal end of the ischial seat pad to the distal end of the medial strut. The ischial seat pad is configured to engage an ischium of the patient when the prosthetic socket is worn by the patient.
