The care and rehabilitation of individuals after lower limb amputation presents a substantial
and growing socioeconomic challenge. Clinical outcome is closely linked to successful …

Prosthetic rehabilitation refers to the process of restoring or improving a patient's physical
function, appearance, and quality of life through the use of prosthetic devices. Providing cost …

Human skin tribology involves the study of friction behaviour of skin, with other materials in
contact. Numerous studies have been conducted based both on the simulations and …

Everyday, we interact with screens, sensors, and many other devices through contact with
the skin. Experimental efforts have increased our knowledge of skin tribology but are …

The work aims to design and development of a prosthetic socket for lower limb amputation
with 3D printing technology for a patient. It is focused on the finite element-based simulation …

Friction at the residual-limb socket interface affects amputees' comfort since it has a direct
impact on the pain and functionality of the prosthesis. In this research, the coefficient of …

A prosthetic socket used by a lower limb amputee should accommodate the patient's
geometry and biomechanical needs. The creation of a geometrically accurate subject …

Methods: The new socket was developed by the Istituto Tecnico Ortopedico Preneste, and it
was named the “hybrid subischial socket.” This work aimed at understanding the loads' …

In this study, a grasping motion simulation method based on finite element analysis was
developed for the virtual evaluation of gripping comfort while gripping a cylindrical object …

Friction of textiles on the human forearm is an important factor in comfort sensations of
garments. We built an experiment to measure friction for textiles sliding on the forearm under …
