Objectives

Narrative objectives1

For an amputee to walk comfortably with a prosthesis, the fit of the socket which houses the residual limb is crucial. There are currently no quantitative standards for adjusting parameters such as residual limb elongation and circumferential compression. Compression Value is CV during the design process instead these decisions largely rely on the experience of prosthetists. Consequently, issues such as instability due to shallow socket depth or excessive localized pressure can arise, leading to pain and poor fit. This study focuses on the interaction of "optimal CV values" tailored to the individual and aims to clarify the effects of residual limb elongation versus non-elongation on socket interface pressure distribution and Subjective Comfort Score. We believe that this research will establish fundamental data for developing quantitative standards for socket fit in CAD design, thereby providing significant benefits to both amputees and the medical professionals involved in their rehabilitation.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

For transtibial amputees, two types of sockets, one extended and one nonextended based on CV values are fabricated. Pressure sensors are attached inside the sockets to measure internal pressure using a test prosthesis. Additionally, a socket comfort score chart is used to objectively evaluate the comfort of the socket fit. The activities performed consist of standing, marching in place, and walking.

Interventions/Control_1

This study compares the effects of combining a 10 mm distal end extension with the individual's optimal compression value (CV value) on reducing local peak pressures within the socket and improving pressure distribution based on Total Surface Bearing (TSB) theory and wearing comfort.
