  1. Figure 7. Step activity and limb-socket slippage for hypothetical patient. Practitioner-generated report shows that after 5 d of use slip occurs regularly. This suggests that clinical intervention is necessary to avoid residual-limb tissue breakdown or falls due to poor suspension. Hafner BJ, Sanders JE.
