Abstract:
The invention relates to prostheses for amputated patients. The shaft of the prosthesis (10) consists of an outer shell (11) and a concentric inner shell (11'). Both shells are provided with longitudinal slits (12, 12') which are staggered in relation to each other and extend essentially in the axial direction. The diameter of the shaft (10) of the prosthesis can be adjusted by means of tightening elements (13, 14). An adapter (20) is fixed in the shaft of the prosthesis (10) in such a way that the height of said adapter can be adjusted. A conical bearing surface for the stump of the limb is provided on the upper side of the adapter (20), a holding element (29) for fixing an artificial limb is provided on the lower side of the same, and a coupling is provided inside the adapter for detachably fixing the coupling pin (41) of a commercially available silicone liner (40).
