The care and rehabilitation of individuals after lower limb amputation presents a substantial
and growing socioeconomic challenge. Clinical outcome is closely linked to successful …

Socket is an important part of every prosthetic limb as an interface between the residual limb
and prosthetic components. Biomechanics of socket‐residual limb interface, especially the …

Finite element method has been identified as a useful tool to understand the load transfer
mechanics between a residual limb and its prosthetic socket. This paper proposed a new …

Most trans-tibial amputation (TTA) patients use a prosthesis to retain upright mobility
capabilities. Unfortunately, interaction between the residual limb and the prosthetic socket …

Amputation is a surgical operation to remove a part or limb from the body due to some major
illness, birth defect, accidents, vascular disease, surgery, etc. The number of amputee …

This paper presents a new 3D design paradigm for the development of specific custom-fit
products, such as the soft socket of prostheses for lower limb amputees. It is centered on the …

Forces acting on the body via various external surfaces during locomotion are needed to
support the body under gravity, control posture, and overcome inertia. Examples include the …

In this study, we investigated and compared the dynamic interface pressure distribution of
hands-off and handson transtibial prosthetic systems by means of pressure map**. Of the …

People with transtibial amputation often experience skin breakdown due to the pressures
and shear stresses that occur at the limb-socket interface. The purpose of this research was …

Restoring mobility using prosthetic limbs anchored in custom sockets is the primary goal of
amputee rehabilitation. The contact pressure at the stump-liner interface is critical for …
