ABSTRACT:
An alignment device connects a stump socket (1) to a prosthetic limb (21). The alignment device has an alignment member (8) with an opening (12) receiving a pin (7) connected to the stump socket (1). The size of the opening (12) is considerably greater than the cross-sectional dimension of the pin (7) and the pin can be locked in any position within the opening (12). This achieves a considerable improvement of the wear characteristics by lateral adjustment.
