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
37 years as an amputee and I've never seen this done until today. Thanks chica!!
I'm a fellow amputee and I'd love to actually work in the field one day and have actually helped in the making of a test socket for my BKA but mine is the right side. I watched a lot of your videos in 2018 when I first lost my foot and I share ur videos to others that have questions about the whole process
Bendiciones para todos ustedes es el mejor video que explican como hacer un soker osea una cabidad mejustaria que explicaran como hacer una maquina que chipe el aire muchas felisitaciones muy bueno el video gracias por compartir ese conosimiento
greetings from Indonesian's prosthetic & orthotics. That's video pretty nice 👍
Prosthetics is the apex of craftsmanship.
First they take a cast, then make a positive of your foot, and then get the foot ready by putting the leg part horizontal with the foot pointing down. If there are hinges, they tack the hinges to the mold or use dummy hinges to create a space for them. Then when the plastic is ready they stretch it over the mold and pinch it shut at the top of the foot and the shin area. When it cools, they cut it off, sand it down, add straps, and done!
Thank you as this was actually the most informative one I’ve seen yet.
I have no idea why I watch your videos but they are AWESOME!!!
`Thank you for sharing
Great video! I'm in the process of getting my new sockets (I'm a 2 bk) and this really helped me understand the skill and process involved.
My self and my son is prosthetist.nice vedio
Great to see the process!
Cooooooool
Your videos are super interesting. Glad you're doing well and keep up the good work.
Wow! Nice job on the video. Very helpful in understanding what the OP is doing.
Yea that's pretty cool. I'd like to but all that equipment which doesn't look to expensive because I'm tired of waiting three weeks or more for my leg socket.
That was the coolest video I've ever seen. I've been trying to find one for making an AFO, but they never show how to get the plastic off the negative.
That's me!!
this is really interesting! the bit with the plastic is really cool :D
THANKS A LOT it is very clear vedio
good demo.
Loved this video!!! Really helpful!! Thanks.. would you mind making another video of a prosthesis which has a foam mold inside the hard shell?!! Please Looks great!
Amputeeot you were on Channel newsasia thats so cool
Vey interesting as always.\morris
Cool bloody job dude you are our man! Oh and Christina I have a project for you to do that I think that you find "freekin" awesome and maybe want to share with others.
I think you're pretty awesome, but who cares what I think? Just want to thank you for your vidoes! From a friendly physiatrist :-)
I care what you think!
good demo. (y)
Im sitting here wondering how I can rotate my left toe inward. Which of these hex key holes hold the solution? I wonder what they all do?
I suggest an "ABCs of the prosthetic leg" AK & BK maybe showing all of the new advances.
Cool
That's my goal!
I don't. I was given an opportunity to try out a new system.
How long did it take for you to get your new socket mine took 4 months 🤬 not happy
Te amo!!!!
That was cool o.o
How much if mag order?
In a previous video, you said that over time, residual limbs shrink, do they shrink enough over time that you have to have an entirely new prosthetic? Or is it managed through socks and whatnot?
I wish I could see it in a video.
great1, what kind of plastic material were used?
The mold that was poured was chunky. I'm triggered.
This is just the first they do it a least 2 more the following ones are carbon fiber .
I never knew how a prosthetic was made and I have lodes
Will you be showing how the final definitive socket is made?
My wife needs this.. she had her stump recut and now has no prosthetic that fits.. do you know if Blue Cross Blue Shield covers prosthetics?
Yes
How much cost small LEG replay me please
How do they use the test socket to make the final one?
Do you understand how to make a Benham's disk out of a cd?
What is the name of the new system? I'm glad that you are doing well! I'm trying out a new socket called "Boa".
Be safe, missy. : ^ )

Hi! could you tell me what is that white liquid that he put into the mold? thank you!
It's plaster of Paris
How much does it cost?
That prosthesis will not fit you well and you will have the socket hitting your tendon when bending your knee. Otherwise, great video!
Are those new glasses
Ma'am iam 39 years .left leg was amputated above knee
I want to take prostatic limb saket please give email address and how much that cost of saket
Hi my name Amir I’m from Pakistan
I want Soakit for my Brother
I lost my left leg above knee please give me ur address n ur prize tq
Does not seem worth the 24k [ Yes 24,000 dollars USD ] they are JACKING ME UP for a basic bka prosthesis! It's a RIP off I cant afford so i have to go around on as piss poor fitting leg prothetic. [ note Standard Prosthetics is not the company doing this!!! To me
