Summary
This study tested a new type of prosthetic socket (the subischial socket) in 84 people with above-knee amputations who have limited mobility. The goal was to see if it improves comfort, how long they can wear it, and their overall quality of life compared to standard sockets. Participants used both their usual socket and the new one, and researchers measured comfort and wear time.
