The human–prosthesis interface is one of the most complicated challenges facing the field of
prosthetics, despite substantive investments in research and development by researchers …

Functional, comfortable prosthetic limbs depend on personalised sockets, currently
designed using an iterative, expert-led process, which can be expensive and inconvenient …

The fit of a lower limb prosthetic socket is critical for user comfort and the quality of life of
lower limb amputees. Sockets are conventionally produced using hand-crafted patient …

Prosthetic hands have significant potential to restore the manipulative capabilities and self-
confidence of amputees and enhance their quality of life. However, incompatibility between …

A transtibial prosthetic interface typically comprises a compliant liner and an outer rigid
socket. The preponderance of today's conventional liners are mass produced in standard …

This study constitutes the first attempt to systematically quantify residual limb volume
fluctuations in transfemoral amputees. The study was carried out on 24 amputees to …

Monitoring the volume and shape of residual limbs post-amputation is necessary to achieve
optimal socket fit and determine overall limb health, yet contemporary clinical measurement …

Background After amputation, many people become less active, feel lonely and lose
independence. Understanding the factors associated with low physical activity levels and …

Digitising prosthetic sockets and moulds is critical for advanced fabrication techniques
enabling reduced lead times, advanced computer modelling, and personalised design …

Advancements in digital imaging technologies hold the potential to transform prosthetic and
orthotic practices. Non-contact optical scanners can capture the shape of the residual limb …
