Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Adaptable Prosthetic SocketExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Using measurements of limb-socket displacements from sensors embedded within the socket wall, adaptable sockets make small adjustments to socket size so as to maintain consistent displacements while prosthesis users are active. They do not require the user to stop activity or to touch or modify the prosthesis, and they do not distract users from their objectives.
