What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Adjustable prosthetic sockets (Quatro, Infinite Socket, CJ Socket)
What this could lead to: If adjustable sockets prove more comfortable or functional, they could become a standard option for people with leg amputations, improving daily life.
What could go wrong: This is a small, completed study with only 29 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Adjustable sockets may not work better for all users.
