Sweat-Proof prosthesis? study tests tech to keep artificial limbs secure
NCT ID NCT03900845
Summary
This study tested three different lower-limb prosthetic systems to see which one works best when the wearer sweats a lot. Researchers wanted to find a design that keeps the artificial limb securely attached without causing skin problems or discomfort. Twenty people with below-knee amputations tried each system during daily life and in a hot, humid room to measure slippage and sweat.
