However, data concerning wearer outcomes of hard hydrocast sockets (i.e. those without silicone liners), especially over long-term usage periods, is scarce in the literature. RESEARCH QUESTIONS: Are there any changes in wearer functional, spatio-temporal or satisfaction outcomes over a long usage period with a hydrocast socket? And how do the post-usage period outcomes compare with those from the wearers original prostheses? METHODS: In this pre-post interventional study, the clini..View full abstract University of Melbourne Researchers Noel Lythgo Author Physiotherapy Peter Lee Author Biomedical Engineering Grants Funding Acknowledgements This work was funded by the CASS Foundation (Australia), the Rotary Club of Richmond (Australia), the Promobilia Foundation (Sweden) and the Australian Government Research Training Program.
