肘關節離斷義肢：病例報告

Abstract

Elbow disarticulation(ED) is very rare in upper limb amputation. Traditionally prosthetic fabrication of ED is fitted with a medial window on the socket for the bulbous distal residual limb to pass through. Afterwards, closing of the medial window is followed for suspension, which usually raises cosmetic concerns on the client's part. This casereport aims to introduce a double socket fabricating method to address the above-mentioned issue to promote the client's life quality and ADL independence.
