1. An adjustable prosthesis system for a residual limb, comprising:
an adjustable outer shell having a bottom, an adjustable inner volume, and an adjustable inner shape, each of the adjustable inner volume and the adjustable inner shape having a width; at least one closure component attached to the adjustable outer shell and adapted to adjust the width of at least one of the adjustable inner volume and the adjustable inner shape of the adjustable outer shell; an inner liner adapted to receive the residual limb and to be inserted in the adjustable inner volume of the adjustable outer shell; and an adjustable connector assembly having a proximal end adjustably connected to a distal end of the adjustable outer shell and adapted to provide concurrently for a plurality of directional adjustments and/or angular adjustments of a position of the distal end of the adjustable outer shell relative to the proximal end of the adjustable connector assembly while the adjustable outer shell is on the residual limb, a distal end of the adjustable connector assembly being adapted to connect to a shank or an other prosthetic device, wherein adjustment of the width of at least one of the adjustable inner volume and the adjustable inner shape of the adjustable outer shell and adjustment of the adjustable connector assembly together provide for a custom-like fit on the residual limb of the adjustable prosthesis system accounting for a plurality of differences in at least some of residual limb shape, circumference, volume, angle, general size, and other properties, as well as a plurality of differences in at least some of gait, bone structure, bone curvature, and bone alignment among a plurality of amputees. |
