THE WHY
  • Volume Changes
  • Pressure Points
  • Gait Adjustment

THE UNMET NEED

Adjustable prosthetic sockets to accommodate daily limb changes. Maintain anatomical alignment and reduce strain on the lower back. Simple, user-friendly adjustments without external tools.

The AAPS Solution

Four adjustment zones. Mechanical dials. Anatomical measurements customizing:
  • Limb circumference
  • Pressure-sensitive zones
  • Weight-bearing areas

How it Works!

Adjustment zones controlled by dials connected to internal padding. Ensures even weight distribution and comfort. Materials:
  • Breathable, moisture-wicking fabric.
  • Pressure-mapped cushioning for sensitive areas.
BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING Fit&pressure mapping. Biomechanics.
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING Tensile dial design. Strength distribution analysis.
