AmputeeOT: How a test prosthetic socket is made.

/ amputeeot
Test, check, or temporary sockets: three different words to describe a temporary socket used to test and check a socket before a permanent or carbon fiber socket is made.
These plastic sockets can be sanded, or heated and remolded. After a temporary socket is exactly right (this can take MANY adjustments!) then a final socket is made of carbon fiber. #amputee #amputation #rehabilitation #occupationaltherapy #prosthetics #akamputee #bkamputee #disability #disabled #amputeewoman
