Pre-clinical validation of a method to measure strains in prosthetic sockets using photoelasticity

The current design of prosthetic sockets does not allow for the dissipation of heat given off by the residual limb of the amputee. The poor thermal conductivity of the prosthetic socket leads to skin problems which make the amputee uncomfortable. A proposed solution is the introduction of a window i...
