First seen Mar 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study uses a special X-ray technique to see exactly how the leg bone and skin move inside a prosthetic socket when people with below-knee amputations walk. Researchers want to compare two types of socket suspension to find which one reduces movement and improves comfort. The goal is to help prevent skin problems, pain, and other issues caused by poor prosthetic fit.
