Background In the UK 55,000 people live with a major limb amputation. The prosthetic
socket is problematic for users in relation to comfort and acceptance of the prosthesis; and is …

Additive manufacturing is rapidly growing in popularity for manufacturing parts with tunable
mechanical properties. Recent studies show that mechanical properties can be achieved by …

The socket is the most important, patient-specific element of a prosthesis. Conventionally,
the process of making a custom socket involves manually rectifying a plaster model of the …

Achievement of fit between the residual limb and prosthetic socket during socket
manufacture is a priority for clinicians and is essential for safety. Clinicians have recognised …
