Interim Prostheses for below knee amputees can be fabricated in a variety of ways. A relatively new interim fabrication technique was developed by REHABTech.

The interim prosthesis has developed considerably in the past few years. There has been a range of socket types used, from materials such as plaster, scotchcast and resin. It is important that the interim be able to undergo dynamic alignment, be practical and effective.

The undertaking of research of new materials and methods through experimentation made it possible to achieve the use of duplicating plastic.
