An above-knee (AK) turntable prosthesis is prescribed for transfemoral amputees who require enhanced rotational mobility of the lower limb. The turntable mechanism allows controlled axial rotation between the socket and distal components, enabling smoother execution of activities such as sitting, standing, directional changes, and transfers. It reduces torsional stress on the residual limb, socket interface, and knee joint, thereby improving comfort and minimizing skin breakdown. This prosthetic design is particularly beneficial for individuals with limited hip rotation, bilateral amputees, or users engaged in frequent seated and pivoting activities. Proper alignment and user training are essential to ensure stability, safety, and optimal functional performance.
