Abstract
In some cases, the parameters of the stump may undergo changes while walking on the prosthesis of the thigh or lower leg. The volume of the stump can change rapidly with certain pathologies (vascular diseases, multiple cicatricial changes), while a temporary increase in volume can occur in case of, for example, overload. In other cases, the parameters change gradually and, as a rule, downward. The result of a change in their volume is a change in the distance of the greater trochanterfloor, which leads to temporary or permanent overload of individual muscle groups when walking, a change in gait, and the formation of secondary changes from the various structures of the musculoskeletal system. The use of an insert in the carrier module in the form of a prosthesis length corrector allows to improve the quality of the rehabilitation and life of the disabled person and also avoids a significant number of secondary complications.
