Functional, comfortable prosthetic limbs depend on personalised sockets, currently
designed using an iterative, expert-led process, which can be expensive and inconvenient …

It has been proposed that finite element analysis can complement clinical decision making
for the appropriate design and manufacture of prosthetic sockets for amputees. However …

In post-amputation rehabilitation, a common goal is to return to ambulation using a
prosthetic limb, suspended by a customised socket. Prosthetic socket design aims to …

Materials and Methods A comparative reliability assessment of casting and 3D scanning
was conducted in 11 participants with established transtibial amputation. For each …

In this work we present a preliminary study on a system able to design automatically sockets
for lower-limb prosthesis. The socket is the most important part of the whole prosthesis and …

Achieving a comfortable socket residual limb interface is crucial for effective prosthetic
rehabilitation, depending on the precise characterisation and fluctuations in the shape and …

Introduction: In trans-tibial prosthetics, shape-capture methods are employed to create a
representation of the residuum. Shape-capture methods can be grouped into the categories …

The prosthetic socket provides the critical interface between the prosthetic device and the
patient's residual limb. Since each stump is unique in terms of morphology and mechanics …

The increasing accessibility of surface scanners is giving users the ability to accurately
digitise the 3D surface geometry of real world objects which may then be manufactured by …

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 …
