Assessing Socket Fit Effects on Pressure and Shear at a Transtibial Residuum/Socket Interface

Fluctuations in residuum volume during daily activities are known to occur in lower-limb amputees. This can cause frequent changes to fit, which cannot be accommodated by commonly-used prosthetic sockets. The real-time effects, if any, of these minor socket fit changes on interface biomechanics have...
