PROSTHETIC OVERVIEW■ Terminology:
– Prosthesis (noun) – Any device that replaces a missing part of
the body.
– Prosthetic (adjective) – Describing anything that deals with a
prosthesis.
– Socket - The part of the device that encapsulates and interacts
with the residual limb.
– Foot – It’s a foot…
– Terminal Device – The part of an upper limb prosthesis that
interacts with the environment (hook, hand, etc…).
– Suspension – The method of holding the prosthesis on to the
body.

ADAPTIVE PROSTHETICS
■ Adaptive Prostheses – “Any component or
group of components that enable the amputee
to engage in (adapt to) a specific Physical
activity” 1
■ A lot of overlap

HISTORY ADAPTIVE PROSTHETICS
■ Adaptive prostheses were among the first type of prostheses
■ 201 BC - Marcus Sergius was a Greek general who had an iron hand made to
support his shield.

HISTORY ADAPTIVE PROSTHETICS - 2
■ 1509 AD - A hand made representing armor for Goetz von Berlichingen. The fingers
could be locked shut to hold a weapon

HISTORY ADAPTIVE PROSTHETICS - 3
■ Late 19th Century - The civil war left many amputees to fend for themselves and
create novel "home brew" devices. The prosthesis shown here was made out of a
gun stock.

UPPER LIMB ADAPTIVE PROSTHETICS –Overuse symptoms
■ Overuse in Contralateral Side
– Approximately 50% of patients with a
unilateral amputation will experience
overuse syndrome2
■ Overuse in residual limb
