Quantification of Transhumeral Prosthetic Socket Residual Limb Interface Movement Using Motion Capture and a Slip Detection Sensor

Current literature focusing on the prosthetic socket is limited by measurement techniques and modeling assumptions, leading to a limited understanding of the forces and motions occurring between the residual limb and prosthesis and how they can be used to influence socket design and fitting. Prosthe...
