As a physical interface, a prosthetic liner is commonly used as a transition material between
the residual limb and the stiff socket. Typically made from a compliant material such as …

Purpose: The friction characteristics at the interface between prosthetic socket and liner
have an important influence on the walking function and wearing comfort of amputees. The …

Background Relative motion between the residual limb and socket in individuals with
transtibial limb loss can lead to substantial consequences that limit mobility. Although …

To perform activities of daily living (ADL), people with lower limb amputation depend on the
prosthetic socket for stability and proprioceptive feedback. Poorly fitting sockets can cause …

After trans-tibial amputation (TTA) the patient needs prosthesis to maintain mobility,
unfortunately, people with this type of amputation often experience skin degradation due to …

After lower limb amputation or disability, prosthetic limbs are essential for regaining mobility,
but skin integrity often degrades due to mechanical stresses at the stump–prosthesis …

A lot of trans-femoral amputation patients experience skin breakdown due to the pressures
and shear stresses in the stump-prosthesis interface. In this study, a finite element model …

The soft tissue of the residual limb in transtibial prosthetic users encounters unique
biomechanical challenges. Although not intended to tolerate high loads and deformation, it …

Every year a considerable number of people undergo a lower leg amputation and start using
prostheses. After a period of testing and fitting of various prostheses, gradually more suitable …

The residual limb tissues of an individual with below knee amputation form a critical loaded
interface with the prosthetic limb. In the early stages of rehabilitation, residual limb tissues …
