Abstract
This report describes a new technique for fastening a hip disarticulation socket. It was developed at the request of the patient who needed to fasten his prosthesis using only one hand, because of a left upper limb disability. Snowboard boot bindings were secured to the socket of the prosthesis and allowed it to be securely fastened and released using his dominant hand only. The design of the bindings permitted a high closing force with minimum one-handed effort by the user.
