In the prosthetics field, one of the most important bottlenecks is still the human-machine
interface, namely the socket. Indeed, a large number of amputees still rejects prostheses or …

Scientific studies have been conducted to quantify attributes that may be important in the
creation of more functional and comfortable lower-limb prostheses. The prosthesis socket, a …

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 …

Well thought out socket designs and careful consideration of residual limb presentation set
the stage for patient success—maximizing range of motion, providing stability throughout …

The human–prosthesis interface is one of the most complicated challenges facing the field of
prosthetics, despite substantive investments in research and development by researchers …

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 …

The distribution of interface stresses between the residual limb and prosthetic socket of a
transtibial amputee has been considered as a direct indicator of the socket quality fit and …

The finite element method (FEM) is a very powerful tool for analyzing the behavior of
structures, especially when the geometry and mechanics are too complex to be modeled …

Over the last decade, numerous experimental and numerical analyses have been
conducted to investigate the stress distribution between the residual limb and prosthetic …

A system for measuring the stump-socket interface pressure was designed and built using a
strain gauged type load cell. The system was utilized to study the pressure distribution in the …
