An Algorithm to Calculate Socket Volume Changes of Adjustable Sockets for Transtibial Prosthesis Users

Conclusions
If the algorithm was incorporated into adjustable socket mechanisms and measured users' socket size adjustments, the data may help practitioners identify relationships between patients' clinical status and their socket volume adjustments. Data may also be useful toward the design and operation of automatically adjusting cabled-panel sockets.
