FAQs

What is an above-knee socket designed around?

An above-knee socket is fitted around the residual limb following a transfemoral amputation. The socket, suspension and prosthetic components need to be considered together in the individual plan.

Can an existing knee and foot be reused with a new socket?

Compatibility and condition need to be reviewed by the prosthetist. Supply the component details and ask what can be retained rather than assuming every socket works with every knee or foot.

What should I discuss if the socket fit changes?

Explain where movement or discomfort occurs and any changes in limb volume or daily use. Ask the prosthetic team for a fit review instead of making structural alterations yourself.
