A temporary prosthesis has been developed for above-knee amputees who receive long-term post-amputation chemotherapy. The temporary prosthesis has an adjustable laminated quadrilateral socket, the size of which is adjusted by metal screws. Fifteen patients were fitted with the temporary prosthesis. Initial fittings were carried out after a period averaging 46 days from amputation. All of the patients were able to walk with one crutch after about one month from initial fitting. Although patients often had to discontinue their prosthetic training owing to chemotherapy, they could resume wearing their prostheses simply by adjusting the socket. One patient, who was fitted with a cosmetic ultra-light prosthesis initially due to her poor general condition, was later fitted with the temporary prosthesis. She regained the ability to walk 60 days later and still wears it. Early fitting of temporary prostheses for these patients is not only of practical convenience but also improves their mental state.
一种临时假肢已为接受截肢后长期化疗的膝上截肢者研制出来。该临时假肢有一个可调节的层压四边形接受腔，其尺寸通过金属螺钉进行调节。15名患者安装了这种临时假肢。初次安装在截肢后平均46天进行。所有患者在初次安装后约一个月都能够使用一根拐杖行走。尽管患者常常因化疗而不得不中断假肢训练，但他们只需通过调节接受腔就能继续佩戴假肢。一名患者最初因身体状况较差安装了一个美容用超轻假肢，后来安装了临时假肢。60天后她恢复了行走能力，并且仍在使用该假肢。为这些患者早期安装临时假肢不仅具有实际便利性，还能改善他们的精神状态。
