Advances in the measurement of prosthetic socket interface mechanics: a review of technology, techniques, and a 20-year update
Expert Rev Med Devices. 2023 Aug 3. doi: 10.1080/17434440.2023.2244418. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: A key determinant of prosthesis use is the quality of fit of the prosthetic socket. The socket surrounds the residual limb and applies the appropriate force distribution to the soft tissues to maintain suspension, support, and stabilization as well as translate limb movement to prosthesis movement. The challenge in socket fabrication lays in achieving geometry that provides the appropriate force distribution at physiologically appropriate locations; a task dependent on the understanding of interface tissue-me...
