The quality of fit of a trans‐tibial patellar‐tendon‐bearing (PTB) socket may be influenced by
consistency in casting, rectification or alignment. This paper quantifies, for the first time, the …

The purpose of this study was to objectively evaluate the fit of sockets for trans-tibial stumps
in order to establish a guideline for use in the automated production of prosthetic sockets …

Innovations in technology have brought about advances in the field of Prosthetics and
Orthotics and the use of computers in designing and manufacturing was only natural …

The quality of prosthetic socket fit can affect the function of the final prosthesis and may be
compromised by errors during the residual limb shape capture. Plaster of Paris and …

During the design and fabricating processes of a prosthetic socket, in order to avoid the
