ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic device for use in rehabilitating a patient after a limb reduction surgery, allows the patient to begin learning to walk with a bendable knee joint that is typically used with a more permanent, later provided prosthetic. The inventive prosthetic device includes an adjustable first portion that is secured about a portion of the amputated limb and a second portion that provides axial and radial clearance between the terminal end of the amputated limb and the interior of the prosthetic sleeve. The second portion of the prosthetic sleeve also includes a radially defined opening that assists a patient or medical personnel in observing the terminal end of the amputated limb during the post-operative healing process.
