DESIGN: In this cross-sectional study, pressure data at the limb and hydrocast socket interface during walking were collected from 16 users of hydrocast sockets. The pressures at this interface were described by location, magnitude, and duration for all participants and were compared between the most and least comfortable participants. RESULTS: High pressures were found about the bony prominences of the residual limb, especially the tibial crest of the anterio..View full abstract University of Melbourne Researchers 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.
