Sand-Casting PS- Casting

(n=28) (n= 10)
Stump Socks 2-5 (layers) 1 (layer)

Good fit 68% 80%

Loose fit 17.9% 0%

Tight fit 14.2% 20%

 During suction, Polystyrene beads shrink.
The amount of shrinkage depends on 4 factors

1. Suction power
2. PS density
3. Size of bead
4. Material of the bag.
 Summary of PS-casting

• PS-casting has been demonstrated Sand-Casting

(n=28)
PS- Casting
(n= 10)

as the better casting. Stump Socks 2-5 (layers) 1 (layer)

• PS-casting could be effected by

Good fit 68% 80%

Loose fit 17.9% 0%

1. Vacuum power, 2. PS density, Tight fit 14.2% 20%
3. Size of PS-bead, 4. Material of the bag

But it hasn’t indicated (Problem)

• We will demonstrate the optimized
physical parameters for the
Transtibial PS-casting (Objective)
 Hypothesis

What is the optimized parameters

Low
Cast model = Goal Parameters density Provides high rigidity of the cast

First preliminary experiment with plaster based casting

1. We started Preliminary experiment with

Stable dummy.
2. Stable dummy: circumference 32cm,
Height 26cm
3. Each student casted 3 times = 3x5= 15
