Evaluation of the Development of an Advanced, Conformable Prosthetic Socket, Study II

Completed

Conditions studied: Evaluation of a New Prosthetic Socket Liner Material

In brief

The purpose of this study is to work with prosthetists to fit the novel conformable socket material developed by Infoscitex, to subjects, and determine if it is a viable alternative to current prosthetic socket liners. During this task, the research team will travel to the prosthetists locations to have them fit the subject with the conformable woven socket and a check socket, and provide subjective feedback with regard to comfort and fit for the amputee, its ease of use, and breathability. The subject will also wear the woven socket for gait analysis and provide his/her feedback as well.
