A physically-motivated model describing the dynamic interactions between residual limb and socket in lower limb prostheses

The amputee’s well-being and mobility are distinclty related to socket fit and resulting biomechanical interaction between residual limb and prosthetic socket. Understanding the dynamic interactions at the interface may lead to new socket standards. This paper introduces a physically-motivated reduc...
