Study Summary

The purpose of this graduate student research study, is to test two different sockets for comfort and test what pressures are created by the socket during daily activities. The objective is to illustrate that semi-flexible sockets will maintain its rigidity and resist progressive shear forces from daily activity, ergo making our prosthetic system a more comfortable experience for the prosthetic user.

Primary Outcome

The SMART Balance Master is a device used to measure balance. It consists of a plate with force sensors that can measure the subject's center of gravity as the subject shifts their position back and forth through the exercise. We will be exerting the subjects through the different phases of gait also known as a Limits of Stability test, one of the many pre-programed tests available to choose from.The SMART Balance Master is a widely used device in the rehabilitation world to test an individual's
