Abstract:IntroductionHigh pressure on sensitive areas of the residual limb while wearing a prosthetic socket must be minimized to avoid injury and uncomfortable fitting. The purpose of this study was to reduce the peak pressures on sensitive regions within a three-dimensional (3D)-printed transtibial prosthetic socket.Materials and MethodsThis study proposed a 3D-printed socket with three built-in tiny air bladders integrated within the interface between the liner and socket and electronically managed by a pressure and… Show more
