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 …

A lower-limb prosthetic socket is the custom-made structural element interfacing the residual
limb of a person with an amputation to their prosthetic leg comprising off-the-shelf …

The aim of this study is to develop a socket prosthesis made from natural fibers, especially
ramie fiber reinforced epoxy composite (RE). Development of socket prosthesis with RE was …

Lower limb amputation is a severe psychological and physical event in a patient. A
prosthetic solution can be provided but should respond to a patient-specific need to …

transtibial residual limb: including the effects of age and interface material. Arch Phys Med …

Hip dynamics in the intact limb during the beginning of stance phase in unilateral trans-tibial
amputees (TTA) was studied to evaluate its contribution to compensatory function. We …

This study evaluated the asymmetry of knee kinetics during uncomfortable gait induced by
prosthesis misalignment to further demonstrate the compensatory function of the knee joint …

The finite element analysis (FEA) has been identified as a useful tool for the stress and strain
behaviour determination in lower limb prosthetics. The residual limb and prosthetic socket …

Abstract A Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed to evaluate the interaction between
residual limb and socket when considering the dynamic loads of the gait cycle. Fourteen …
