ABSTRACT:
A modular interface connector for coupling a prosthetic limb socket assembly to a prosthetic limb upright assembly comprises an interface cushion member adapted to fit substantially entirely within the distal end of the socket, having a proximate end adapted to abut the wearer's residual limb; a first attachment mechanism for releasably attaching the interface connector within the distal end of the socket; and a second attachment mechanism for releasably attaching the upright assembly to the distal end of the socket. When attached in the socket, the interface connector provides an air-tight seal between the attachment mechanism and the wearer's residual limb.
