What type of prosthesis is used for below the knee?
For below-the-knee (BK) amputations, the most common type of prosthesis used is called a Transtibial Prosthesis. This type of prosthesis is designed to replace the lower part of the leg, below the knee, and it includes several key components:
- Socket: This is the part of the prosthesis that fits over the residual limb (stump). It is custom-made to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
- Suspension System: This system holds the prosthesis securely in place on the residual limb. Common suspension methods include:
- Shuttle Lock: Uses a pin and lock mechanism to secure the prosthesis.
- Suction: Creates a vacuum to hold the prosthesis in place.
- Sleeve Suspension: Uses a sleeve that fits snugly over the residual limb and prosthesis.
- Pylon: This is the structural component that connects the socket to the prosthetic foot. It can be adjustable to allow for proper alignment and length.
- Prosthetic Foot: This part mimics the function of a natural foot, providing support and flexibility. There are various types of prosthetic feet, including:
- SACH Foot (Solid Ankle Cushion Heel): A simple, durable foot with a cushioned heel.
- Energy-Storing Feet: Designed for more active users, these feet store and release energy to aid in walking.
- Articulated Feet: Include joints that allow for movement, providing a more natural gait.
- Liner: Often made from soft materials like silicone or gel, the liner provides cushioning and protection for the residual limb inside the socket.
Each transtibial prosthesis is customized to meet the specific needs, activity level, and lifestyle of the user.
