Summary

This study looks at whether adjustable prosthetic sockets can help veterans with lower limb amputations maintain a comfortable fit over time. About 25 veterans will use a special adjustable socket for two weeks and then perform activities like walking and sitting while sensors measure pressure inside the socket. The goal is to understand how the socket performs and when adjustments are needed, which could lead to better, longer-lasting prosthetics.
