Abstract
An adjustable socket system includes a base, longitudinal supports connected to the base and extending along a longitudinal axis, and shell components operatively connected to the longitudinal supports and defining a receiving volume adapted to receive a residual limb. The adjustable socket system is radially expandable between open and closed configurations. The shell components include a first shell component having distal and proximal parts that are longitudinally displaceable with respect to one another such that a length of the first shell component is adjustable between a first length and a second length different than the first length.
