Dynamic Management of Excess Residual Limb Pressure With New Smart Socket Technology/Intelligent Prosthetic Socket With Variable Volume and Elevated Vacuum Systems

This study centers around the imaging of internal structures of residual limb by means of modern radiographic imaging techniques (Dynamic Radiography-DRSA). The purpose of our research is to further study the behavior of bones and soft tissue of the socket-stump interface during dynamic tasks such as walking or brisk walking. In the long term this research could prove a basis for improvements in the general design of sockets for the new generation of prosthetic devices.
