| Abstract | ||
| Within the prosthesis, the residual limb is often subjected to a hot and moist environment which is both uncomfortable that may contribute to skin irritation, blistering, and and reduces life of the prosthetic limb, so that to maintain a healthy, clean and comfortable residual limb, the socket must have the ability to keep the limb cool. In present study is design of a system for measuring the thermal conductivity of different lamination materials of prosthetic socket which manufactured in Baghdad center using perlon, fiberglass and acrylic resin. The experimental results show that the thermal conductivity ranged from (0.1289-0.22982) for socket materials. Also the results demonstrate increasing perlon layers with constant fiberglass layers the thermal conductivity increased by (46%),at the same time the result shows that with increasing perlon layers with absence fiberglass layers the thermal conductivity Decrease by (67.9%).also it was found that increasing fiberglass layers from zero to two layers with fixing perlon layers leaded to increased in thermal conductivity by(78.27%,41.89%,16.2%) for twelve, ten and eight layers of perlon respectively. | ||
