DESIGN OF PROSTHETIC LEG :
The prosthesis for a transtibial leg
includes prosthetic foot, a shank that may
be endo or exoskeleton in design, a knee
unit, a socket.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF
PROSTHETIC LEG PARTS
 SOCKET
The socket must therefore provide distal
support solely through the soft tissues. To
minimize soft tissue pressures, the socket
may extend more proximally using the
iliac crest, distal ribs, and gluteal muscles
for support. Suspension may be
augmented by shoulder straps. This
prosthesis is typically endoskeleton so as
to minimize the weight of the prosthesis
 PROSTHETIC
KNEES

The knee acts as a shock absorber and a

support structure and shortens the limb
during swing. The purpose of prosthetic
knee units is to restore normal function
and the appearance of gait with minimal
energy expenditure.
Prosthetic knee units may be classified
in terms of their control, such as no
mechanical knee control (locked knee),
stance phase control only, swing phase
control only, and swing and stance phase
control.
The manual-locking
knee which can be
unlocked for sitting
provides maximum
stability during stance
but results in an Four-
bar polycentric knee in
a transfemoral
unnatural gait.
Polycentric knees
(typically prosthesis
four-bar linkages).
