چکیده
The prosthetic socket remains the number one priority for persons with lower-limb amputation because a user’s comfort depends on the socket fit. This review analyzes the effect of current prosthetic socket designs, focusing on patient-reported outcomes measures, with the aim to provide a basis for socket prescription. Results from the 19 included studies show that total surface bearing sockets can provide greater activity level and prosthesis satisfaction for younger and/or more active persons with amputation and those with a traumatic cause of amputation, a result that is of particular interest to Veterans. However, the type of socket liner used influences the results considerably. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2014.08.0183
