Summary

This study introduces a novel method using spiral x-ray computed tomography (SXCT) to measure skin slippage within lower extremity prostheses. Results show significant skin movement relative to the prosthesis under axial loading, crucial for improving socket fit.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Prosthetics and Orthotics
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate measurement of skin slippage within lower extremity prostheses is vital for evaluating socket fit and function.
  • Existing methods lack the ability to quantify in situ skin deformation under load.
  • Finite element models require precise data on prosthesis-skin interaction.
