What is the most effective way to secure a residual limb inside a fitted prosthetic socket?
2. What is your first answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
Suction suspension is one of the most effective ways to secure an amputee to their prosthesis.
3. What is your second answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
Pin suspension is one of the most effective ways to secure a patient to their prosthetic.
4. List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.
- Geriatric patients need an easier type of liner to put on.
- Comfortable for non active patients.
- Easiest suspension for donning and doffing the prosthesis making it easier for parents with an amputee child.
5. What printed source best supports your answer?
Sabolich, John. Sabolich, Scott. You're Not Alone. Oklahoma City: Scott Sabolich, 2005. Print
6. Tie this together with a concluding thought.
Most patients prefer the easy donning an doffing that comes with the pin system, but I wouldn't call it my best answer as it also causes many problems in the limb.
