Checking The Course Of The Socket Brim - Otto Bock Harmony P3 Technical Information

3.5.2 Checking the course of the socket brim

Objective
The course of the socket brim is critical for a comfortable seating of the prosthetic socket and sealing sleeve. The
socket brim must not be seated to tightly; this can often be evaluated in the a – p direction.
Harmony System
If all of the points of the liner are located within the
circles, the liner is not compressed sufficiently.
Put on a residual limb sock from the liner FitKit to
increase the compression.
TIP: If the residual limb sock hides the points on the
liner, wear the residual limb sock under the liner. Only
use this procedure while checking the volume. Then
only wear the residual limb sock over the liner.
The liner flow properties are correct in the proximal
area. The compression is insufficient in the distal and
medial area.
Put on a half residual limb sock from the liner FitKit to
increase the compression in the area.
The liner flow properties are correct in the proximal and
medial areas. The compression is insufficient in the
distal area.
Position a 616S134=* spot from the liner FitKit in the
distal area of the prosthetic socket to increase the com­
pression.
Insufficient compression in the lateral area of the pros­
thetic socket can be compensated with the 616S132=*
sticky spots.
