"Artificial Leg Above Knee" refers to a prosthetic limb designed to replace a natural leg above the knee joint. These prosthetic devices are custom-made to fit an individual's residual limb and provide mobility, support, and functionality similar to a natural leg. They typically include components such as a socket that fits over the residual limb, a knee joint mechanism that allows bending and weight-bearing, and a foot or ankle component that enables walking and other activities. Above-knee prosthetics are used by individuals who have undergone an amputation above the knee due to injury, illness, or other medical conditions, and they require specialized design considerations to ensure comfort, stability, and mobility.
- Socket Fit: Custom-molded socket that fits securely over the residual limb for comfort and stability.
- Knee Joint: Mechanical or hydraulic knee joint that allows for bending, walking, and sitting functions.
- Weight-Bearing Capacity: Designed to support the user's body weight efficiently.
- Materials: Often made from lightweight, durable materials such as carbon fiber, polypropylene, or thermoplastics.
- Suspension System: Features like suction, pin lock, or liner suspension to keep the prosthesis securely attached.
- Shock Absorption: Components to absorb impact during walking, reducing stress on the residual limb.
- Adjustability: Components that can be adjusted for length, alignment, and fit as needed.
- Cosmetic Cover: Optional cosmetic covering to resemble a natural leg.
- Energy Efficiency: Some advanced models are designed to store and release energy, aiding in walking efficiency.
- Flexibility: Ability to adapt to various activities like walking, running, or climbing.
