HOW IS A PROSTHETIC SOCKET MADE. Most comprehensive video of the process.

How is a prophetic socket made? Despite billions of dollars being poured into R&D for advanced bionics and smart joints. Prosthetic socket manufacturing has undergone little advancement. Building a lower extremity socket is a labor intensive process requiring highly skilled practitioners, technicians, complex labs, and the use of toxic materials. This process has not seen a transformative upgrade in over 50 years. The steps involved in creating the socket include: Step one: Taking measurements and a plaster cast of the residual limb. Step two: Creating a Positive Model Step three: Modifying the Model Step four: Check-Socket Fabrication Step five: Check-Socket Fitting Step six: Check-Socket Adjustment Step seven: Lamination Step eight: Final Fitting
