This study describes a newly developed prosthetic leg socket design for a below-knee amputation. Excessive heat and the resulted perspiration within a prosthetic socket were the most common causes for reporting a reduced quality of life for prosthetic users. The product namely AirCirc means air circulation and it has been designed by approach of medical device design process in providing the amputees to maintain the skin temperature inside the socket. This device has been designed to provide the amputees with comfort and ultimate breathable. In order to design the device, the small hole was made in prosthetic socket surface since it has a function as air circulation. Four types of proposed sockets namely P1, P2, P3 and P4 and one control socket were compared on a single patient to determine the best design of prosthetic socket. The result successfully reveals that by using holes can be maintain the temperature inside prosthetic socket. In addition to the eco-friendly material, the woven kenaf was used as material that provides good strength as compared to glass fibre and offer sustainable and biodegradable product yet provides unique and aesthetic surface as came from woven kenaf itself. The objective of this paper is to provide the airflow prosthetic socket design and optimize the use of natural fibre in prostheses field. Thus, with the use of the environmental friendly material, functionality device and heat removal capability make the device suitable for maintaining a comfortable and healthy environment for prosthesis. Implications of Rehabilitation Newly developed prosthetic leg socket design for a below-knee amputation Device has been designed to provide the amputees with comfort and ultimate breathable Woven kenaf was used as material that provides good strength as compared to glass fibre for sustainable and biodegradable product Results show that by using holes can be maintain the temperature inside prosthetic socket.
本研究描述了一种新开发的用于膝下截肢的假肢接受腔设计。假肢接受腔内过热及由此产生的汗液是假肢使用者报告生活质量下降的最常见原因。名为AirCirc的产品意味着空气流通，它是通过医疗器械设计流程设计出来的，目的是让截肢者保持接受腔内的皮肤温度。该装置旨在为截肢者提供舒适感和极佳的透气性。为了设计该装置，在假肢接受腔表面开了小孔，因为其具有空气流通的功能。在一名患者身上比较了四种 proposed sockets，即P1、P2、P3和P4，以及一个对照接受腔，以确定假肢接受腔的最佳设计。结果成功表明，通过开孔可以保持假肢接受腔内的温度。除了环保材料外，编织红麻被用作材料，与玻璃纤维相比，它具有良好的强度，能提供可持续且可生物降解的产品，同时还因其自身的编织特性提供独特且美观的表面。本文的目的是提供气流假肢接受腔设计，并优化天然纤维在假肢领域的应用。因此，使用环保材料、功能性装置和散热能力使该装置适合为假肢维持舒适健康的环境。康复意义 新开发的用于膝下截肢的假肢接受腔设计 该装置旨在为截肢者提供舒适感和极佳的透气性 编织红麻被用作材料，与玻璃纤维相比，它具有良好的强度，可用于可持续且可生物降解的产品 结果表明，通过开孔可以保持假肢接受腔内的温度 。 （注：原文中“proposed sockets”表述不太准确，可能是“设计的接受腔”之类的意思，但按要求未做修改直接翻译。）
