![]() Anatomical Socket vs. Ischial Containment Socket: First Results in an Intraindividual Comparison Under Clinical, Biomechanical and Prosthetic Aspects Abstract:
In a prospective study patients after transfemoral amputation are provisioned with an ischial containment socket and with an anatomical or ramus containment socket. The two provisions are compared intraindividually from clinical, biomechanical and prosthetic aspects.

![]() Lower Limb Prosthetics II: Analysis and Design Considerations of a Prosthetic Socket Abstract:
A three-dimensional solid model of major tissue of the residual limb is developed from MRI data. To conduct further analysis and simulations, solid models of major tissues are to be assigned respective material models and specific interaction properties in Abaqus Finite Element software.

![]() Skin Problems of the Stump in Lower Limb Amputees; Influence on Vocation and/or Hobbies Abstract:
Influence of skin problems on vocation and/or hobbies was assessed with a questionnaire (giving a sum score, range 0-27). There were 805 participants (507 had skin problems). The mean sum score was 5.5 (SD=4.1). The sum score significantly correlated with the number of complaints (r= .483, p=.01).

![]() Prosthetic Limb Sockets: Replacement of Acrylic Resins, Carbon and Glass Fibres with Vegetable based Materials Abstract:
Manufacturing of prosthetic limbs sockets produces irritant gases and dusts. We are working towards developing a safer composite material derived from plant based resins with a view to subsequent production and ISO testing.

![]() Study of Residual Limb/Prosthetic Socket Compliance in Transtibial Amputees Abstract:
This project investigates the effect of prosthetic gel liner thickness on compliance at the residual limb-prosthetic socket interface, pressure distribution on the residual limb, and selected gait parameters related to shock absorption.

![]() Observed Socket Forces During Running Abstract:
With recent developments in technology that provide the ability to observe forces placed on the residual limb, the investigation of how high impact activities will effect these forces becomes possible. Using running as experimental condition and walking as a baseline we collected force data sets.

![]() An Introduction to Methods used for Assessing the Socket Fit in Above Knee, Below Knee and Knee Disarticulation Prostheses Abstract:
This article is aimed to provide a summarized understanding of the methods used to evaluate the socket fit in lower limb prostheses for prosthetists or specialists and includes a brief introduction, accuracy, pros and cons and limitations to each method.

![]() A Comparitive Study on Transtibial Prosthesis between Sand Casting Technique & Normal Casting Methods Abstract:
The sand casting system uses the dilatency phenomenon to its best use by fabricating the socket with some material which can be reutilized and the socket/liner too in more accurate,quicker and cost effective way.The time reducing factor is important for a developing country with large no of amputees
