Abstract
An above-the-knee post-operative residual limb support device is described. The support device may be used shortly after amputation of a portion of a limb, such as a portion of a patient's leg (e.g., such as in an above-the knee (“AK”) amputation procedure). Such a support device may be referred to as an Immediate Post-Operative Prosthesis (“IPOP”).
