Customized Prosthesis Design for Enhanced Stability in Cycling and Boating
This study presents a definitive prosthesis designed utilizing a check socket from previous research. It features a special-purpose terminal device tailored for cycling and boating activities. The innovative design focuses on stabilizing prosthetic sockets by alternating areas of tissue compression and release, which enhances comfort and performance during physical activities. The findings illustrate the efficacy of this approach in improving the functional outcomes for users engaged in recreational sports.
