Socket pressure distributions with gait analyses of a transfemoral and a transtibial prostheses were measured in order to assess an optimal socket fitting and unction. Ankle joint was aligned by the neutral and the dorsi/plantar flexed positions. Compared to dorsi and plantar flexed positions of ankle joint, cadence and walking speed increased with the neutral ankle joint alignment. Other gait parameters were close to the normative data with the neutral ankle joint alignment. For the transfemoral amputee, dorsiflexed alignment of the ankle joint created high pressure on the lateral aspect of the socket, on the other hand, plantarflexed alignment resulted in increased pressure on the medial aspect of the socket. For the transtibial amputee, dorsiflexed alignment of the ankle resulted in high pressure on the antero-lateral aspect of the socket during mid-stance, but plantarflexion of the ankle joint showed slight increases in pressure at the same location in the socket. The present study clearly demonstrated that malalignment of a prosthesis results in localized increasing pressure within the socket. Proper alignment of the prosthesis is required in order to acquire an appropriate socket-limb interface as well as the proper gait.

We report on the case of a patient with chronic instability of the ball-and-socket ankle joint. The patient, a 21-year-old male, was diagnosed 10 years previously with chronic instability of the ball-and-socket ankle joint. He underwent Broström procedure and augmentation using a periosteal turn down from the fibula for this chronic instability despite having received conservative treatment since the diagnosis. After the procedure, the clinical symptoms of ankle instability were improved and the patient is being periodically followed-up. We report on this case of using a Broström procedure as a treatment option for patients with instability of the ball-and-socket ankle joint with normal range of foot and normal ankle joint alignment without damage in the joint and cartilage.

Normally, multiple socket-outlet is manufactured with soldered, welded permanent connection (termination). Because this procedure is very non-environmental and requires many labor forces, many companies skip this process. To solve this these problems, this research had to design permanent joint type multiple socket-outlet, develop safer multiple socket-outlet than is sold in markets. Progressing this research, we took 3 steps. First, we had to design device for fixing a frame suitable for multiple socket-outlet. Second, this multiple socket-outlet must pass fundamental standards through international standard (IEC 60884-1) and Korean standard (K 60884-1) tests. Third, it had to pass both several mechanical and electrical tests which is more strict than fundamental standards and vibration and impact tests following KS standards for enhancing its safety. After finishing 3 steps, we could obtain objective and fair data, develop environmental permanent joint type multiple socket-outlet without soldering crimped connection.

Ball-and-socket deformity of the ankle joint is a rare entity that is usually associated with inequality of leg length, fibular hyperplasia, coalition of the ankle, and ray deficiency. Etiology is unknown, congenital itself or secondary to congenital conditions in the ankle. Nonunion of medial malleolar is rare in bilateral ball and socket ankle joint without lower leg deformity. We report upon this case, and include brief reviwe of the literature.

본 연구는 대퇴 및 하퇴 의족 착용자의 소켓의 적합성 및 기능성을 평가하기 위하여 소켓내부압력을 측정하였다. 발목관절을 중립, 배굴, 저굴 상태로 조절하였을 때, 배굴 및 저굴에 비하여 중립상태에서 분속수나 보행속도는 증가 하였다. 다른 보행 인자들 역시 발목관절을 중립상태로 조절하였을 때 정상인의 보행인자에 근접하고 있다. 대퇴 절단 환자의 경우 발목관절을 배굴 상태로 조절하면 소켓의 외측부분에 압력집중이 나타나고, 저굴상태로 조절하면 소켓의 내측 부분에 압력집중이 발생하였다. 하퇴 절단 환자의 경우 발목관절을 배굴상태로 조절하면 중간입각기때 소켓의 전면 외측에 압력집중 현상이 나타나며, 저굴시에는 배굴시와 같은 위치에 약간의 압력이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 의족의 부적절한 정렬상태로 인한 소켓내에서의 압력집중 현상을 설명하고자 하였으며, 의족의 올바른 정렬은 적절한 보행을 유도하기 위한 소켓과 스텀프와의 접촉 상태를 결정하는데 있어 매우 중요한 인자중 하나이다.

본 연구는 소켓연결방식을 이용한 PSC 제형 거더를 구성하는 프리캐스트 부재의 소켓연결 성능을 검증하고 복부 부재의 최적화 단면을 산정할 수 있도록 단위부재 실험을 수행하여 거더의 구조성능을 평가하였다. 실험은 연결부의 성능실험과 복부의 휨 및 전단 성능 실험을 수행 하였으며 모두 4점 재하방식으로 수행되었다. 실험결과 소켓연결을 실시한 시험체에서의 초기균열하중은 기준시험체 대비 크게 저하 되었으나 최대하중 이후의 거동은 큰 차이가 없음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 철근의 고리 이음부 길이는 최대하중에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 복부 전단 실험 결과 프리스트레싱 강봉으로 전단 보강을 실시한 시험체에서 기준시험체 대비 높은 사인장 균열하중을 나타내었다. 복부 휨 실험 결과 인장측에 프리스트레싱 강봉으로 보강한 시험체에서 가장 큰 최대하중 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Die life is generally estimated taking failure life and wear amount into consideration. In this study, the forging die life was investigated considering both of these two factors. The fatigue life prediction for the die was performed using the stress-life method, i.e. Goodman's and Gerber's equations. The Archard's wear model was used in the wear life simulation. These die life prediction techniques were applied to the die used in the forging process of the socket ball joint of a transportation system. A rigid-plastic finite element analysis for the die forging process of the socket ball was carried out and also the elastic stress analysis for the die set was performed in order to get basic data for the die fatigue life prediction. The wear volume of the die was measured using a 3-dimensional measurement apparatus. The simulation results were relatively in good agreement with the experimental measurements.

Precast assembled bridge piers with hybrid connection (PASP) use both tendons and socket connections. To study the seismic performance of PASP, a full-scale in-situ test was performed based on an actual bridge project. The elastic-plastic fiber model of PASP was established using finite element software, and numerical analyses were performed to study the influence of prestress degree and socket depth on the PASP seismic performance. The results show that the typical failure mode of PASP under horizontal load is bending failure dominated by concrete cracking at the joint between the column and cushion cap. The cracking of the pier concrete and opening of joints depend on the prestress degree and socket depth. The prestressing tendons and socket connection can provide enough ductility, strength, restoration capability, and bending strength under small horizontal displacements. Although the bearing capacity and post yield stiffness of the pier can be improved to some extent by increasing the prestressing force, ductility is reduced, and residual deformation is increased. Overall, there are reasonable minimum socket depths to ensure the reliability of the socket connection.
