Abstract
An apparatus and method for positioning and/or aligning a connector between a prosthetic socket and a prosthetic limb. An alignment assembly may have a rotational positioning module and a sliding adjustment unit to position a connector at a natural joint location for a particular patient. The connector may also independently rotate with respect to the sliding adjustment unit to align the connector faces with a set of natural articulation axes of the patient. After the components are positioned and aligned, the components may be fixed together to provide a fixed connector custom fitted to a particular patient.
