First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 06, 2026 · Updated 34 times
Summary
This study is testing a new type of prosthetic socket that can be adjusted as a child grows, avoiding the need for frequent replacements. About 28 children aged 3 to 18 with limb loss will first help develop the design in the lab, then try it at home for two months. The goal is to see if the socket is more comfortable and easier to use than standard prosthetics.
