    摘要: An adjustable overlaying interface for adjusting a prosthesis to a liner worn over a residual limb of a user comprises a sleeve, an inflatable bladder and a fluid-providing device. The variations in volume of the residual limb is compensated by using the fluid-providing device to inflate and/or deflate the inflatable bladder. A kit for adjusting the prosthesis to the residual limb comprises a liner and the adjustable overlaying interface. A method for mounting the prosthesis to the residual limb of a user comprises installing the adjustable overlaying interface over a liner donned over the residual limb of the user, at least partially inserting the residual limb wearing the liner and the adjustable overlaying interface within a socket of the prosthesis and inflating or deflating the inflatable bladder of the adjustable overlay interface to compensate variations in volume of the residual limb.

    摘要: Apparatus is provided to cushion between a prosthetic socket and an amputee's residual limb. A plurality of putty-filled packets are assembled into a liner that, when assembled, provides a generally smooth contact surface toward the residual limb. At least one of the packets has a fluid bladder positioned between the putty material and the socket, and the fluid volume in the bladder can be adjusted to affect the fit of the assembly on the residual limb. Methods of fabrication, fitting, and use of such prosthetic devices are disclosed.
