Abstract：
:In 1973 a workshop sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences recommended that "efforts to develop prescription criteria for use of the numerous variants of the BK prosthesis should be intensified." This paper provides a review of the important considerations in the prescription of a below-knee prosthesis. It is intended that this information would assist the physician to make better informed decisions regarding the specific type of prosthesis for a particular patient. No attempt has been made to describe all prosthetic options since a majority of amputees are fit with only a few prescriptions. Thus, socket design, suspension, shank type, and foot specification may be optimized for individual patients through mutual agreement of the prosthetist and the knowledgeable physician. This paper will present some of the more difficult prescription solutions to the various fitting problems that are representative of our nation's amputee population. This is done with the knowledge that there may be other and equally successful solutions to these problems. Several illustrative examples are provided.
