The present application relates to a prosthetic socket system for a residual limb of an amputee. More specifically, the application relates to a suspension mechanism that retains the socket on the residual limb of the patient.
The distal portion of a prosthetic socket has several particular functional responsibilities, including participating in suspension of the prosthetic socket on the residual limb and absorbing force that transmitted through the distal end of the residual limb in a manner that is as kind as possible to that distal end.
It is not enough that a prosthetic socket simply fit, however well, on the residual limb of a patient; it must also resist distal slippage, up and down pistoning when the user is walking, and rotation. In the prosthetic arts, resisting these forms of instability on the residual limb is referred to as “suspending” the socket. Suspension devices for prosthetic sockets that make use of a sock-like liner garment that fits over at least the distal portion of a residual limb are well known. These liners are typically formed from an air-impermeable elastomer material, such as silicone, and are configured to allow radial distension while being resistant to axial distension. Liners fit closely over, and conform to the shape of, the limb, particularly at their proximal end. The consistency of the silicone elastomer is friendly to the skin of the residual limb, and although it can easily be manually peeled away, it readily forms a substantially hermetic seal that effectively isolates the distal portion of the residual limb within the confines of the liner.
In addition to attributes of prosthetic socket liners that contribute to the security of the socket on the limb, solutions have been developed that mechanically secure or stabilize the liner within the socket. Suspension, thus, is typically achieved by a layered approach, with various mechanisms working together. Suspension is inherently difficult, however, and the residual limb needs to be treated gently, since damaging the skin on the residual limb is completely intolerable. Also, the residual limb generally does not provide points of mechanical advantage that could contribute to suspension. Accordingly, suspension solutions continue to be sought, particularly solutions that are not only effective, but simple in terms of mechanism, low profile design, ease in operation, and ease in donning and removal.
It is generally advantageous for a prosthetic socket to distribute the force associated with body weight and stride impact away from the distal end of the residual limb, because the distal end is sensitive, and lacks the natural force absorbing structure provided by intact limbs with a condyle. Nevertheless, at least some amount of body weight and impact force is transmitted from the distal end of the residual limb to a pad or cushion disposed within the distal base of the socket. Optimizing the configuration and composition of a distal cushion so that force conveyed through the distal end of the residual limb is absorbed in as benign a manner as possible would be a welcome development in the prosthetic arts.
Embodiments of the invention are directed to a cushion within the distal portion of a prosthetic socket for use in hosting a residual limb of an amputee patient. Embodiments of such a distal cup include a proximal disk; a distal disk; and a cushion incorporated into the proximal disk that is custom manufactured specifically for the patient. Embodiments of the cushion include (1) a total volume of the cushion, (2) a volume of solid thermoplastic elastomer within the total cushion volume, and (3) a void volume within the total cushion volume. Based on these values, a relative fill volume can be defined as the ratio of (2) the total volume of solid thermoplastic elastomer vs. (1) the total volume of the cushion.
Embodiments of this cushion further include a first subset volume having a first relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volume, as defined by the ratio of solid thermoplastic elastomer volume within the first subset volume to the total volume of the first subset volume, and a second subset volume having a second relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volume, as defined by the ratio of solid thermoplastic elastomer volume within the second subset volume to the total volume of the second subset volume. In such embodiments, the first and second relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volumes are different from one another, and the first and second relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volumes are selected on the basis, at least in part, on at least one physical characteristic of the patient.
In some embodiments, the proximal disk and the distal disk each include a central well configured to allow passage of a strap lanyard of the prosthetic socket therethrough. In some embodiments, the proximal disk and the cushion are formed as a single monolithic structure.
In typical embodiments, the cushion is a 3D printed article, and the first and second relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volumes within the cushion (and differing from each other) are formed via a 3D printing process.
In some embodiments, the durometer of the cushion is selected for the patient by selecting the first and second relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volumes. And in some embodiments, the modulus of elasticity of the cushion is selected for the patient by selecting the first and second relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volumes.
In some embodiments of the cushion, beyond the first and second subset volumes, the cushion may further include a third subset volume within the total cushion volume, the third subset volume having a third relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volume as defined by a ratio of a solid thermoplastic elastomer volume within the third subset volume to the total volume of the third subset volume. The first, second and third relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volumes are different from one another. Beyond the third subset volume within the cushion, some embodiments may include a fourth subset volume within the total cushion volume, the fourth subset volume having a fourth relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volume as defined by a ratio of the solid thermoplastic elastomer volume within the fourth subset volume to the total volume of the fourth subset volume. The first, second, third, and fourth relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volumes are all different from one another.
In some embodiments of the cushion, the cushion has a spatial center and x, y, and z axes for reference; and any of the first, second, and third, and further multiple relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volumes may form a relative fill volume gradient along one or more of the x, y, and z axes.
In some embodiments of the cushion, the cushion has a spatial center surrounded by layers, such as ring-shaped or concentric spherical layers, emanating outward from the spatial center toward an external boundary of the cushion, and the first, second, and third, and further multiple relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volumes may form a relative fill volume gradient on a line from the center through the ring-shaped layers.
In some embodiments, the thermoplastic elastomer composition of the cushion includes multiple structures selected from the group consisting of spheroidal structures, ovoid structures, walled structures, filamentous structures and irregularly-shaped structures.
In some embodiments, the thermoplastic elastomer composition of the cushion includes one or more structures, each structure having one or more vector orientations; A modulus of elasticity of the cushion may vary through the cushion in accordance with the one or more vector orientations of the structures.
In some embodiments, the 3D printing process by which a cushion if formed is controlled by a control file comprising data providing an external boundary profile of the cushion as well as a map of the internal volume of the cushion. A parameter within the map of the internal volume includes specification of the levels of relative thermoplastic elastomer fill density. Such a map may be derived, at least in part, from a digital profile of the patient's residual limb.
In some embodiments, the at least one physical characteristic of the patient includes a digital profile of the patient's residual limb, and the external boundary profile of the cushion may be derived, at least in part, from the digital profile of the patient's residual limb.
In some embodiments, the control file includes data that prescribe a range of predetermined sizing options for the cushion. And in some embodiments, the control file includes data that prescribe a variety of predetermined shape options for the cushion. These data may be derived, at least in part, from the digital profile of the patient's residual limb.
In some embodiments, the at least one physical characteristic of the patient is selected from the group consisting of a weight of the patient, a height of the patient, a dimension of the residual limb, a digital profile of the residual limb, a status of an opposite limb of the patient, and a health condition of the patient.
Embodiments of the invention further include methods of making a distal cup of a prosthetic socket for a residual limb of a patient, such as the distal cup as summarized above. Embodiments of the method include fabricating a distal disk of the distal cup and fabricating a proximal disk of the distal cup (wherein the proximal disk includes a cushion custom manufactured specifically for the patient) and coupling the distal disk to the proximal disk to form the distal cup. Embodiments of the method may further include using the distal cup for the assembly of a complete prosthetic socket.
Embodiments of a cushion fabricated by this method include (1) a total volume of the cushion, (2) a volume of solid thermoplastic elastomer within the total cushion volume, and (3) a void volume within the total cushion volume. Based on these values, a relative fill volume can be defined as the ratio of the volume of solid elastomer to the total volume of the cushion.
Cushion embodiments further include a first subset volume having a first relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volume, and having a second subset volume having a second relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volume. In such embodiments, the first and second relative thermoplastic fill volumes are designated based, at least in part, on at least one physical characteristic of the patient, such as, by way of example, a digital profile of at least a portion of the residual limb. In such embodiments, the first and second relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volumes may be different from one another, and the first and second relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volumes are selected based at least in part on at least one physical characteristic of the patient.
In some embodiments of the method, at least the distal disk of the cushion is fabricated via a 3D printing method that includes providing instructions to a 3D printer via a control file, and printing the cushion with the 3D printer in accordance with the instructions. In such embodiments, the control file includes a map of an external boundary of the cushion and a map of a total internal volume of the cushion, the internal volume including the first and second relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volumes.
In some embodiments of the method, the instructions specify that the thermoplastic elastomer composition include multiple structures selected from the group consisting of spheroidal structures, ovoid structures, walled structures, filamentous structures, and irregularly-shaped structures.
In some embodiments of the method, the instructions within the control file specify that the solid thermoplastic composition volume include one or more structures, each structure providing one or more strength vector orientations, and a modulus of elasticity of the cushion that varies through the cushion in accordance with the one or more strength vector orientations of the structures.
In some embodiments of the method, the instructions within the control file specify that the cushion comprise a spatial center and x, y, and z axes, and wherein the first and second relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volumes together form a relative fill volume gradient along one or more of the x, y, and z axes.
In some embodiments of the method, the instructions within the control file specify the cushion provide a spatial center surrounded by ring-shaped layers emanating outward from the spatial center toward an external boundary, and the first and second relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volumes together form a fill volume gradient on a line from the center through the ring-shaped layers.
In some embodiments of the method, the instructions within the control file specify that the first relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volume include an insular volume and the second relative thermoplastic elastomer fill volume comprises a region surrounding the insular volume.
Aspects of the technology disclosed herein are directed toward improvements in and around the distal base portion of a prosthetic socket. In one aspect, the technology relates to mechanics of suspending a prosthetic socket on a residual limb. These improvements include a strap-lanyard suspension arrangement.
In another aspect, the technology relates to a cushion that engages and supports the distal portion of the residual limb. A variable elastic modulus cushion is positioned within proximal disk or shock absorbing pad of prosthetic socket distal cup. Embodiments of the cushion may be 3D printed, and they may include variable and customizable patterns of elasticity and durometer that can be directed to optimizing fit and therapeutic benefit. These patterns are a result of at least two variables: (a) the variation in thermoplastic elastomer fill density (solid volume/total volume) within regional subsets of the total volume, and (b) the structures formed by the interplay of solid and voids.
Aspects of a variable elastic modulus cushion 122 are shown in particular detail in
Padding 122C (
As noted above, suspension of a prosthetic socket may be established by multiple mechanisms, each mechanism contributing to the totality of the stability of a prosthetic device on a residual limb.
Innovative aspects of the strap-based suspension mechanism disclosed herein include an angled (e.g., non-horizontal) strap channel 110 that has the functional advantage of providing a more effective distal pull on socket liner 160, pulling it securely into the base of a prosthetic socket 100. Distal end of 152 or strap 150 approaches its connection to the distal end of prosthetic socket liner 160 at an angle, and the distal end attachment feature 153 of the strap thus is configured to compensate, and direct the pull in a substantially distal direction. The external exit 111 of strap channel has a rotatable aspect that has the functional advantage of allowing the wearer a choice of angles for ease in manually pulling the strap. Finally, the proximal (exterior) end 155 of strap 150 attaches to an exterior site on prosthetic socket 200, more particularly to a buckle or attachment site 204 disposed on a strut sleeve 203. Attaching strap 150 to the socket component 200 advantageously stabilizes liner 160 within socket 200, and stabilizes the liner particularly against rotation within the socket. Another particularly innovative aspect of the strap-based suspension mechanism disclosed herein includes a variable elastic modulus cushion 122, which is described further below.
In some embodiments, a distal cup, rather than or in addition to a socket liner per se, may be the internal prosthetic element connected to an enclosing socket structure. The function of the releasable mechanical connection is to draw the prosthetic liner 160 downward (proximally) into the base of prosthetic socket 200 by way of a strap or cord 150 attached to the distal aspect 162 of the liner 160. When liner 160 is drawn into the socket 200 it is securely positioned such that pistoning movement (up and down) and rotational movement of the liner within the socket are both substantially prevented.
In typical embodiments of the disclosed technology, a prosthetic socket suspension mechanism includes a distal prosthetic socket cup 100 that includes a strap channel 110 with an exterior opening 111 into a central well 112 of the prosthetic socket cup 100. Notably, strap channel 110 is disposed at an upwardly directed angle (upward from the exterior opening and extending inward) toward the central well 112 of cup 100. The upwardly directed angle is typically within a range of about 10 to about 40 degrees from horizontal. Horizontal, in this context, refers to a plane orthogonal to the central longitudinal axis of the prosthetic socket.
In some embodiments, the distal cup 100 includes an upper (proximal) disk 103 and a lower (distal) disk 104, the aforementioned central well 112 being formed within both the distal and proximal disks. In some of these embodiments, the distal and proximal disks are rotatable and lockable with respect to each other within a range of about 10 degrees to about 25 degrees. The exterior opening 111 of strap channel 110 is generally disposed on the lateral aspect of the prosthetic socket where the patient can easily manipulate strap 150 to adjust the tension, lock the strap, and release the strap. This freedom of rotational movement allows the individual prosthetic socket user to position the strap at a location that is most comfortable and appropriate for the user.
When assembled, embodiments of the prosthetic socket suspension mechanism include a lanyard strap 150 disposed through the strap channel 110; strap 150 includes an exterior or proximal end 155, an interior or distal end 152, and a longitudinal axis. Exterior refers to residing exterior to the prosthetic socket; interior refers to residing within the socket. The exterior end 155 of the strap is releasably securable to a site on the exterior of the prosthetic socket 200, and the interior end of the strap is connectable to a distal end of a prosthetic socket liner 160 disposed within the socket. Strap 150 may be more generally referred to as a lanyard, and although typically having a flattened profile, it may also have a round profile or be of any suitable shape. Strap 150 embodiments may vary in thickness and width, according to particular of the prosthetic socket and patient needs.
In some embodiments, the interior end 152 of strap 150 is configured to support a bolt 153 (or any suitable connecting element) that is directed vertically toward the distal end 162 of the socket liner 160 and attachable thereto at a distal attachment site 163; vertical in this context refers to a being in alignment with the central longitudinal axis of the prosthetic socket. According, the bolt is disposed at an angle deviating from the longitudinal axis of the strap within a range of about 15 to about 40 degrees such that the angle of deviation is about the same as the angle by which the strap channel deviates from the horizontal. This configuration of the interior end 152 of strap 150 with a bolt 153 attached thereto is thus asymmetric, and is particularly arranged such that when strap 150 is tightened (by a pull from the exterior) to exert a pull that is directed substantially vertically downward in spite of the angled approach of the strap.
The responsiveness of prosthetic liner 160 being pulled by an angled strap is substantially better than it would be were the strap being pulled from a horizontal approach, and the translational efficiency of strap pull force into a proximally directed force is similarly better than it would be were the strap being pulled from a horizontal approach. Thus, by at least two structural factors: (1) the angled approach of the strap, and (2) the angled arrangement of the bolt on the interior end of the strap, the disclosed arrangement is an improvement over a strap channel having a horizontal approach to connecting to the distal end of a prosthetic liner.
In some embodiments, distal disk 104 of the prosthetic socket suspension mechanism includes a resilient shock-absorbing portion 122, such as a variable elastic modulus cushion. This padded structure precludes the socket liner from being drawn into the base of prosthetic socket 200 and encountering a hard surface against which it bottoms out. Once bottomed-out, no further force can be applied, and the arrangement as a whole has no subtle or graded adjustability. The padded encounter of the liner against the distal disk allows for a steady downward pull to be maintained, and translated into shock absorbing comfortable experience for the prosthetic socket user without sacrificing any of the benefit of the secure attachment between liner 160 and socket 200.
Embodiments of the provided technology include a prosthetic socket suspension mechanism that has a distal base for a prosthetic socket having a strap channel with an exterior opening into a central well of the base, the strap channel forming an angle inclined from the exterior opening toward the central well, the angle being within a range of about 10 to about 40 degrees from horizontal. The distal base has a distal disk and a proximal disk, the central well being formed within both the distal and proximal disks. The distal and proximal disks are rotatable and lockable with respect to each other within a range of about 10 degrees to about 25 degrees.
In some embodiments, the prosthetic suspension mechanism further includes a strap disposed through the strap channel, the strap having an exterior end, an interior end, and a longitudinal axis, wherein the exterior end of the strap is releasably securable to a site on the exterior of the prosthetic socket, and wherein the interior end of the strap is connectable to a distal end of a prosthetic socket liner disposed within the socket.
In particular embodiments, the interior end of the strap is configured to support a connector directed vertically toward the distal end of the socket liner, the bolt being disposed at an angle deviating from the longitudinal axis of the strap within a range of about 15 to about 40 degrees such that the angle of deviation is about the same as the angle by which the strap channel deviates from the horizontal.
Further, in some embodiments, the distal disk of the prosthetic socket suspension mechanism includes a resilient shock-absorbing portion. Some of these shock-absorbing embodiments include a cushion that includes a thermoplastic elastomer composition formed by a 3D printing process.
Cushion 122 may also be described as an article that has regions that vary in durometer. The terms “elastic” and “durometer” describe similar properties of material; an article that has a high modulus of elasticity (Young's modulus “E”) has a high resistance to being non-permanently deformed. An article having a high durometer has a high degree of hardness; thus, generally, an article having a high modulus of elasticity also has a high durometer. In the present application, variable modulus of elasticity will be used when describing aspects of embodiments of cushion 122. Modulus of elasticity is material property or attribute that includes directionality. Whereas durometer generally refers to hardness of an object as a whole, an article may have moduli of elasticity that vary according to the direction of the deforming force applied to it. Accordingly, this property of directionality can be controlled through the design delivered by way of 3D printing, and such controllable directionality of varying elasticity (or hardness) can be exploited for therapeutic advantage or specificity.
Variable elastic modulus cushions have widespread applicability to devices that interface with the body, particularly at sites where a graded quality of cushioning is appropriate or preferable, or when the site being cushioned is one where the interfacing body part is sensitive or vulnerable, and/or where the site is one through which the transfer of forces relates to functionality of the cushioned article. It is a challenge for a cushion to elastically engage at low levels of impinging force and not “bottom out” at a high level of impinging force. If a cushion bottoms out, then it actually no longer is acting as cushion. And, on the other hand, if a cushion is too hard (albeit not bottoming out), it doesn't really fulfill its mission or potential as a cushion. Thus, embodiments of a variable elastic modulus cushion 122, as provided herein, typically have a low elastic modulus on a surface that engages the body, and the elastic modulus increases with increasing depth within the cushion. The effect of such embodiments is that they provide a graded range of elasticity or hardness, and one that can be controlled by the design of the pattern and density of the 3D printed thermoplastic fill.
The embodiments of a variable elastic modulus cushion 122 provided herein represent but one of many examples of the utility of such cushions or pressure distribution pads that include internal variation in their modulus of elasticity or durometer, such variation being controllable and customizable. As a non-comprehensive listing, other examples include sites in prosthetic devices other than the distal cup of a prosthetic socket, as well as orthotic devices, exoskeletal devices, gripping elements in tools or utensils, and sites of bodily contact on walkers, canes, wheelchairs, stationary chairs, and beds. These examples of cushions of pads typically occur at sites in devices that patients engage with particular frequency or particular force, thereby creating a risk of irritation or injury of the engaging portion of the body.
“Customizable” or “customized”, as used herein, generally relates to fabrication of an article that replicates a contour (or a complement to a contour) of a body portion of an individual patient. The ability of a technology such as 3D printing to perform such replication requires the particular capabilities of creating a form with high resolution, and with high fidelity to the intended form. In addition to applying these 3D printing capabilities to the create replicative custom forms, they may also be directed to creating standardized (not individualized) or predetermined forms and patterns, ranging from simple to complex. These standardized forms and patterns can be generated in large arrays as models, individual actual devices from which are 3D printed only as needed.
This approach, in some instances, may allow fitting of fabricated articles to an individual patient with a specificity that rivals that of more strictly individualized custom fabrication. Forms and patterns typically can be described in dimensional or geometric terms (length, width, volume, etc.) but may also include intra-volume variation with regard to thermoplastic elastomer fill density among volume subsets of the article's total volume. This latter capability manifests as an article having internal regional variations in durometer and elasticity within the dimensional metrics.
Typically, variable elastic modulus cushion embodiments 122 are formed by 3D printing process. Accordingly, such cushions can also assume custom-shaping aspects or surfaces that conform to a body portion. Aspects of custom shaping prosthetic socket components by way of mass customization methods of manufacturing are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/572,571, as filed on Dec. 16, 2014, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/007,742, as filed on Jun. 4, 2014. 3D printing methods offer a number of advantages over conventional approaches to fabricating a variable elastic modulus cushion or similar product that might approximate these structures, included among the advantages is the absence of a need for molds, which themselves consume resources.
Embodiments of a variable elastic modulus cushion 122 or related articles with portions that interface between a device and a portion of the body may be formed from any suitable 3D printing medium that yields a resilient body-friendly article. One broad class of suitable media includes thermoplastic elastomers. In one example, variable elastic modulus cushions may be printed with NinjaFlex® flexible filaments (thermoplastic polyurethanes) from Fenner Drives, Inc. (Manheim, Pa. 17545).
In the examples of a variable elastic modulus cushion embodiments 122 shown in
There is a difference, however, between the cross sectional profiles of cushions 122B (
Embodiments of cushions that have variable or controllable, or directionally controllable variable elasticity may be applicable to many devices or applications, all highly customizable. In one example, the distal end of a residual limb can be replicated in a digital model, and that model applied to creating a control file for printing a cushion, such as variably elastic cushion 122, to be positioned in the distal well of a prosthetic socket. In this example, the model of the distal end of the residual limb, having a convex shape, is rendered into a complementary concave profile that prints a relatively forgiving, low fill density portion of thermoplastic elastomer within a surrounding bed of higher fill density.
A variably elastic modulus cushion 122 is but one example;
In the second aspect, however, variable elasticity, and the directionality that can be imparted to a cushion, and add further therapeutic capability to considerations strictly related to conformability in a surface engagement sense. For example, areas of the body that have been injured or are vulnerable to injury can be specifically protected. In some cases, this may involve creating inelastic, harder, and consequently protective portions adjacent to such vulnerable areas. Another therapeutic strategy is to create a more inelastic protective ring around a vulnerable site that directs impinging force away from the vulnerable site. A still further therapeutic strategy is less related to the vulnerability of an anatomical site due to injury or lesion, and more directed to protecting a site that is healthy but is subject to injury from the environment, or from particulars of a hazardous occupation. An example of this type of strategy underlies conventional baseball batting helmets, which are particularly protected on the side of the batter's head that is facing the pitcher.
3D printing of cushion 122 or similar articles can generally and, at least theoretically occur with the article being incrementally built out in any orientation on the 3D printing bed. For example, cushion 122 is typically printed out so that it is delivered in a horizontal, pancake-on-a-plate orientation. Practical considerations play a role in the appropriateness of orientation, however. For example, the horizontal orientation for printing a cushion 122 embodiment is efficient in terms of required printing time. An alternative orientation could require more time spent with unproductive movement of the printing nozzle. Other practical considerations regarding orientation relates to internal structure and the potential of distortion or collapse of delicate structure before it hardens after being laid down as a heated liquid.
