An Algorithm to Calculate Socket Volume Changes of Adjustable Sockets for Transtibial Prosthesis Users

Introduction The objective of this effort was to develop and evaluate an algorithm that used socket and panel dimensions and cable length measurements to quantify socket volume changes of cabled-panel, adjustable socket systems. Methods Adjustable sockets were fabricated for three participants with transtibial amputation. An apparatus was constructed to measure socket volume under controlled cable length changes using the water displacement...
