Interface stress in socket/residual limb with transtibial prosthetic suspension systems during locomotion on slopes and stairs
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the effects of different suspension methods on the interface stress inside the prosthetic sockets of transtibial amputees when negotiating ramps and stairs. DESIGN: Three transtibial prostheses, with a pin/lock system, a Seal-In system, and a magnetic suspensio...
