Comparative Effectiveness of Socket Casting Methods: Improving Form and Fit

Project: Research project

Project Details

Description

Issues with socket fit and comfort are common among lower limb prosthesis users. Additionally, socket refits are common, expensive, frustrating and burdensome to the prosthesis user. The proposed work will impact the healthcare needs of people living life with a lower limb amputation by potentially improving prosthetic socket fit and comfort, as well as the time required to fabricate a prosthetic socket. This may be accomplished by improving the consistency and efficiency of the casting process that forms the foundation of prosthetic socket fabrication.
