In the prosthetics field, one of the most important bottlenecks is still the human-machine
interface, namely the socket. Indeed, a large number of amputees still rejects prostheses or …

The care and rehabilitation of individuals after lower limb amputation presents a substantial
and growing socioeconomic challenge. Clinical outcome is closely linked to successful …

Prosthetic liners exist to improve amputee safety and comfort by adding a cushioning layer
between the residual limb and the prosthetic socket. Many choices in liner technology are …

To maintain postural stability, unilateral lower-limb amputees (LLAs) heavily rely on visual
and vestibular inputs, and somatosensory cues from their intact leg to compensate for …

Many transtibial amputees rate the fit between their residual limb and prosthetic socket as
the most critical factor in satisfaction with using their prosthesis. This study aims to address …

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 …

Background Transtibial amputees encounter stairs and steps during their daily activities. The
excessive pressure between residual limb/socket may reduce the walking capability of …

To counter the many disadvantages of prolonged wheelchair use, patients with spinal cord
injuries (SCI) are beginning to turn towards robotic exoskeletons. However, we are currently …

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 …

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 …
