An adaptive prosthetic socket for people with transtibial amputation

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The aim of this research was to extend size-adjustable prosthetic socket technology into two new directions-motor-driven adjustment with a smartphone application and automated adjustment to maintain socket fit. All participants in this study were able to make socket size adjustments (manual mode) or have adjustments made for them (auto mode) while walking. In prior work leading to this study, the authors used a custom limb fluid volume monitoring system that implemented a bioimpedance analysis ­modality49 to investigate how residual limb fluid volume responded to changes in socket size. Prior to this study, the . . .
