Abstract:
A method and system for fitting a compression stabilized prosthetic socket for a patient having an amputated limb and a remaining portion that includes a first socket portion for contacting a patient's remaining portion of a limb, and a second socket portion for attachment of a prosthetic device. The first socket portion has compression portions having a radius for compressing portions of the patient's remaining portion of a limb, and relief portions receiving any portions of the patient's remaining limb which bulge upon the compression applied by the compression portions. The relief portions may be formed as openings or as enlarged radius portions. The fitting method and system can include use of a mechanism to compress bar surfaces against the limb in areas selected to receive compression portions in order to prepare an image for creating the first socket portion.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of manufacturing an interface for a body part having an underlying skeletal structure and an underlying tissue lying within the body part, the method comprising:\n creating a model of the body part; reducing a radial dimension of the model at a first compression area, a second compression area, and a third compression area; increasing a radial dimension of the model at a first relief area, a second relief area, and a third relief area;\n wherein the compression areas and relief areas are disposed circumferentially around a long axis of the model in an alternating compression-relief pattern; \n wherein each of the compression areas has a longitudinal dimension that extends substantially along a long axis of the model; \n fabricating an interface having a surface that mates with the alternating compression-relief pattern of the modified model; and\n wherein the surface of the interface is sized and dimensioned to compress soft tissue of the body part against the skeletal structure when the interface is worn on the body part such that little further motion is possible between the interface and the skeletal structure.
