Increased pressure and shear stress distributions at the limb–socket interface are
hypothesised to result from changes in the residual limb shape and volume, which can …

The fit of a lower limb prosthetic socket is critical for user comfort and the quality of life of
lower limb amputees. Sockets are conventionally produced using hand-crafted patient …

Background: Recent decreases in the cost of 3D scanners and improved functionality have
resulted in increased adoption for ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) fittings, despite limited …

Background After amputation, many people become less active, feel lonely and lose
independence. Understanding the factors associated with low physical activity levels and …

Changes in limb volume and shape among transtibial amputees affects socket fit and
comfort. The ability to accurately measure residual limb volume and shape and relate it to …

Background: Objective and reliable methods are necessary to monitor and manage
amputee residuum shape and volume and design prosthetic residuum-prosthesis interfaces …

In medicine, tridimensional scanning devices produce digital surfaces that replicate the
bodies of patients, facilitating anthropometric measurement and limb volume quantification …

[Purpose] Few studies have investigated diurnal and day-to-day changes in the thigh
circumference of the residual limb in female amputees. In this study, we used a limb …

The use of 3D scanners to aid prosthetics design, contributing towards more adequate
fittings, has been widely explored. However, before these technologies can replace …
