Summary
This study tested a new type of prosthetic socket (the subischial socket) in 84 people with leg 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 the new and standard sockets, and researchers measured comfort, wear time, and mobility.
