Abstract:
1. A modular prosthetic socket device for a residual limb of a lower extremity, the device comprising: only four longitudinal struts selected from a strut inventory, each strut having a distal end, and a proximal end; an ischial brim member fitted over and surrounding the proximal end of a first strut of the four struts and having a curved inner surface formed to match an ischial aspect of the residual limb; an anterior-medial brim member fitted over and surrounding the proximal end of a second strut of the four struts and having a shape formed to match an anterior-medial aspect of the residual limb; and a lateral brim member, fitted over and surrounding the proximal end of a third strut of the four struts and having a curved inner surface formed to match a lateral aspect of the residual limb; a distal base selected from a distal base inventory, wherein the distal base is attached to the four struts at their distal ends; a distal cup positioned on the distal base and on an interior aspect of the four struts, wherein the distal cup is selected from a distal cup inventory; and an encircling band disposed around at least two of the brim members and configured for tightening or loosening the socket device relative to the residual limb without removing any parts from the encircling band.
