Modified Tongue Depressors as Compression Bars for Prosthetic Socket Stabilization

This study explores the use of four modified tongue depressors that function as compression bars to create specific longitudinal depressions in prosthetic socket fabrication. By alternating areas of tissue compression and release, the modified tongue depressors significantly contribute to enhancing the stability and comfort of prosthetic sockets. The research was published in the Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development in 2011, elucidating the innovative approaches to improve prosthetic fittings for better user experience.
