The present disclosure is directed towards a socket and suspension system that offers the user increased ease of donning the prosthesis, volume adjustability, and improved circulation. The prosthetic includes a socket and liner. The socket and liner can be custom made for the amputee or prefabricated. The liner acts as an interface between the custom socket and the amputee's residual limb. Moving fluid in or out of the area between the liner and the socket causes the liner to push away from the socket wall or pull into the socket wall thereby changing the volume inside the socket. Moving the liner closer to the socket wall enlarges the volume inside the socket making it easier for the patient to put on the prosthetic. The socket and suspension system can include a pump which can manually or automatically adjust the volume inside the socket and suspension of the prosthesis.

An optical connector includes four main components, namely a clamp; a housing into which the clamp slides; two optical elements, a transmitter and a receiver; and an EMI metal shield surrounding the elements. The clamp has two parallel through holes for receiving fiber terminations, each through-hole having a generally conical mouth for convenient guidance of a fiber termination. Inside of the through-holes there are side resilient clamp members, and there is a single central clamp member. The clamp is of moulded plastics construction, and the clamp members are resilient in the lateral plane. The central clamp member on the other hand has little flexibility and remains essentially static throughout the clamping operation. Each resilient clamping member has a tooth at its end for snap-fitting engagement with the housing at open and closed positions. Fiber terminations are inserted through the clamp mouths and the through-holes and into the sockets of the housing. The clamp is then simply pushed inwardly so that teeth in the socket walls bite into the fiber claddings.

A prosthetic hard socket has a modified curvature and / or shape, which eliminates or de-emphasizes the patellar bar to eliminate or reduce pressure on the wearer's patellar tendon, and, instead, enhances support of the anterior tibial condyle and / or tibial tubercle. Thus, the preferred socket is designed with the patellar tendon preferably not being weight-bearing. The preferred curvature and / or shape comprises a lowered socket edge and / or a gap in the socket wall in the region of the patellar tendon, so that the hard structure of the socket does not directly support or press upon the patellar tendon. The invented socket may include inwardly-protruding regions on each side of the lowered edge / gap, for helping to “capture” or otherwise press on a portion of the tibia for improved rotational control. This combination of shapes and curvatures provides for improved rotational control, comfort, and range of motion including even full extension or hyperextension. A flexible and / or cushioning member may be placed in the gap / trough (that is caused by the lowered edge or removed wall portion), for example, a fabric, leather, rubber, or other member may be attached to the socket to across a V-shaped trough of the lowered edge of the hard socket.
