Transfemoral interfaces with vacuum assisted suspension comparison of gait, balance, and subjective analysis: Ischial containment versus brimless

Transfemoral interfaces with vacuum assisted suspension comparison of gait, balance, and subjective analysis: Ischial containment versus brimless

Highlights • The brimless design was equivalent to IRC in gait and balance outcome measures. • Brimless design showed significant improvements in subjective function and QOL. • Vacuum assisted suspension may offer improved prosthetic interface techniques. • Brimless interface design is a clinically...
