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

The human–prosthesis interface is one of the most complicated challenges facing the field of
prosthetics, despite substantive investments in research and development by researchers …

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 …

Although the socket is critical in a prosthetic system for a person with limb amputation, the
methods of its design are largely artisanal. A roadblock for a repeatable and quantitative …

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 …

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 objective of this study was to assess the use of an advanced collision detection
algorithm to simulate cartilage contact pressure patterns within dynamic musculoskeletal …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the performance of 3D printed materials
for use as rapid tooling (RT) molds in low volume thermoforming processes such as in …

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 …

Elastic compression is the process of applying an elastic garment around the leg,
supposedly for enhancing the venous flow. However, the response of internal tissues to the …
