A Synthetic Digital Anatomy Approach to Determine the Effects of Tissue Composition and Alignment on Transfemoral Residual Limb Mechanics
The soft tissue envelope within the residual limb influences prosthetic fit, function, and user comfort. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of residual limb tissue composition and skeletal alignment on its mechanical properties during axial loading. We hypothesized that deviations in the adipose and...
