Abstract
The Icelandic-Swedish-New York (ISNY) above-knee prosthetic socket affords juvenile amputees improved comfort, function, and appearance. The flexible polyethylene socket and rigid frame facilitate accommodation to longitudinal and circumferential limb growth. Review of 10 subjects revealed that all who had worn pelvic band suspension with prior prosthesis having rigid sockets could use total or partial suction to suspend prostheses having ISNY sockets.Keywords
