This case study highlights the prosthetic management of an individual with quadramembral limb loss post-sepsis. This case study demonstrates using advanced suspension techniques and 3D printing. Upper and lower limb prostheses were fabricated to improve comfort, fit, and independence while accommodating ongoing physiological changes related to post-sepsis skin complications.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to describe the clinical challenges and considerations involved in prosthetic management of patients with quad-limb amputations following sepsis.
Upon completion, participants will be able to identify appropriate suspension strategies for upper and lower limb prosthetics that address complex anatomical and physiological needs.
Upon completion, participants will be able to evaluate the benefits of integrating 3D scanning and printing technology to improve fit, comfort, and efficiency in prosthetic fabrication.
