The present invention discloses a system and method for motion recognition and control of a prosthetic device. The system of the present invention uses a movement detector for detecting dimensional motion of a non-disabled physical appendage and generating motion information based on this detecting. The system further includes a microcontroller adapted to be connected to the movement detector for receiving and processing the motion information transmitted from the one or more movement detectors. The system controls a prosthetic device which has actuators that are configured to actuate motion of the prosthetic device based on the processing of the motion information.

A prosthetic attachment system includes an insert arranged for connection to a prosthetic liner, and an attachment unit arranged for connection to a distal end of a prosthetic socket. The attachment unit comprises a body defining an axis and a central opening for selectively receiving the insert. The body carries a plurality of locking elements that are distributed circumferentially about the axis and radially repositionable relative to the axis. A release mechanism is slidably positioned on an outer surface of the body to move the prosthetic attachment system between a locked configuration in which the locking elements are radially repositioned to lock the insert in the central opening of the body and an unlocked configuration in which the insert is released from the central opening.

An adjustable socket system includes a base, longitudinal supports connected to the base and extending along a longitudinal axis, and shell components operatively connected to the longitudinal supports and defining a receiving volume adapted to receive a residual limb. The adjustable socket system is radially expandable between open and closed configurations. The shell components include a first shell component having distal and proximal parts that are longitudinally displaceable with respect to one another such that a length of the first shell component is adjustable between a first length and a second length different than the first length.

An adjustable socket system includes a plurality of shell components and longitudinal supports connected to a base and is movable between an open configuration to loosen the fit of the adjustable socket system, and a closed configuration to secure the fit of the adjustable socket system on residual limb received therein. A tightening system includes a tensioning unit having a handle defining a moment arm rotatable about a rotation axis, and a tensioning element operatively coupled to the handle via a movable connection point and to the shell components via a control point. Rotation of the handle displace the movable connection point and the tensioning element relative to the control point to move the adjustable socket system to the closed configuration.

An adjustable seal system, seal component for use in the system, and method are provided for forming a sealing interface between a residual limb and a prosthetic socket. The seal component is selectively placed over the outer surface of a suspension liner including a plurality of seal bands, which the seal component may removably and securely engage.
