The socket is the crucial first component of any lower extremity prosthesis. Being in direct
contact with an individual's residual limb makes the socket an extension of the body. The fit …

The majority of limb prostheses are socket mounted. For these devices, the socket is
essential for adequate prosthetic suspension, comfort, and control. The socket is unique …

Background The prosthetic socket is a key component that influences prosthesis satisfaction,
with a poorly fitting prosthetic socket linked to prosthesis abandonment and reduced …

The prosthetic socket must act as a customized connection between the residual limb's
surrounding tissues and the prosthetic components. The socket must be designed to control …

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 …

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 …
