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 …

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 …

People with transtibial amputation often experience skin breakdown due to the pressures
and shear stresses that occur at the limb-socket interface. The purpose of this research was …

BACKGROUND: The technological advances that have been made in developing highly
functional prostheses are promising for very active patients but we do not yet know whether …

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 …

The aim of this study was to investigate the residual limb stress of a transfemoral amputee's
Compression/Release Stabilized (CRS) socket by finite elemental modelling. The model …

BACKGROUND: The interface pressure between the residual limb and prosthetic socket has
a significant effect on an amputee's satisfaction and comfort. Liners provide a comfortable …

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a numerical modeling tool vastly employed in research
facilities to analyze and predict load transmission between the human body and a medical …

The suspension system and socket fitting of artificial limbs have major roles and vital effects
on the comfort, mobility, and satisfaction of amputees. This paper introduces a new …
