- How To Design Prosthetic Sockets Part 3
After 5 months of using the Vario system, it looks like Sol needs a new #Prosthetic socket. This CAD Tutorial shows viewers how to adjust and correct prosthetic sockets in Autodesk Fusion360. Sol compares two check sockets at the end.
Background: Sol recently began showing signs that his first Vario-socket needs replacing. After heavy play periods and especially after sports, Sol is left with a red mark from where his paw is rubbing against the socket at the front. It's not painful but is something that needs to be addressed. This usually starts to happen as Sol's paw changes shape with growth. As a temporary solution, Sol simply wears a cotton sock over his paw whenever he uses his device.
This protects the affected area and along with some ointment, keeps things moving for a couple of weeks. However, Sol doesn't like wearing cotton socks (which are just 0-6 month-old baby socks). He prefers the smooth surface of annealed rubber which creates a 'suction fit' allowing him to really throw the device around (for example when balancing or changing direction suddenly in football). Wearing the sock makes the arm feel as if it is loose and that won't do! It's now a race against time to get the new one fabricated. As we are moving into the UK summer, white, expanded rubber will be used this time. Be sure to subscribe to make sure you catch the next episode!

Excellent work Ben. I can imagine this is going to be an ongoing challenge when he's growing up! Fitment will always change
Thank you. it seems 4 months is the sweet spot for Sol. I can usually get 12 months worth of sockets from a scanned plaster positive. Next time I hope to do a better job of the corrections but the new scanner is dead on for precision. Its pretty exact. I will need to drag Sol's mum in to hold the camera when I make a video of the casting!! It would be too stressful to do all of that and film in on my own!
@@irkedoff Revopoint POP. I really rate it!
