A pressure and shear sensor system for stress measurement at lower limb residuum/socket interface

Highlights • A sensor system is reported to measure pressure and shear in lower limb prosthetics. • Static and dynamic performance was calibrated using mechanical test machine. • Pilot amputee test was conducted to measure stresses at residuum/socket interface. • Amputee test results and analysis pr...
