Many challenges are faced by large numbers of people with lower limb amputation in developing countries. Foremost are cost and access to skilled prosthetic services. Attempts have been made to develop socket fabrication techniques that require little or no prosthetic skill. This study investigated a water pressure casting technique (PCAST) to fabricate and fit transtibial (TT) prosthetic sockets. Ethics approval and informed consent were obtained. Fifty-three adults with unilateral TT amputation were recruited from VIETCOT (Hanoi). VIETCOT staff with ISPO category II qualifications fabricated and fitted the prostheses. Firstly, a cotton sock was pla..View full abstract University of Melbourne Researchers Peter Lee Author Biomedical Engineering Grants Citation metrics 1Dimensions UNIVERSITY SEARCH › Current students › Staff › Alumni Faculties & graduate schools Library Contact us Maps Support the campaign Jobs Phone: 13 MELB ( 13 6352) International: +61 3 9035 5511 ABN: 84 002 705 224 CRICOS Provider Code: 00116K ( visa information) Emergency information | Disclaimer and copyright | Accessibility | Privacy STUDY AT MELBOURNE › Find a course › Admissions, fees & applications › International students › Campus tour › Connect with us › Accommodation ABOUT US › Strategy and leadership › Tradition of excellence › International connections › Campuses and facilities › Structure and governance › Policy and publications › Careers at Melbourne › Supplying to the University CONTACT & MAPS › Enquiries › Media › Find an expert › Campus maps › Traffic, parking & bicycles › Find a staff member ALUMNI & FRIENDS › Benefits & services › Give › Volunteer › 3010: alumni magazine RESEARCH › Research institute › Find an expert or supervisor › Graduate researchers › Pursuit: our research showcase ENGAGEMENT › Events › Sports facilities › Shop We acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners of the lands upon which our campuses are situated.
