BACKGROUND: Small intermittent adjustments of socket size using adjustable sockets may be a means for people with transtibial amputation to better maintain residual limb fluid volume and limb position while using a prosthesis.
METHODS: Socket size, limb fluid volume, and distance from the limb to the socket, termed "sensed distance," were recorded while participants with transtibial amputation walked on a treadmill wearing a motor-driven, cabled-panel, adjustable socket. Researchers made frequent socket size adjustments using a mobile phone app to identify participants' acceptable socket size range. Limb fluid volume and sensed distance were then monitored as incremental adjustments were made to the socket.
FINDINGS: Prosthesis users in this study (n = 10) accepted socket sizes between -5% and +5% of their neutral socket volume. There was a rapid increase in limb fluid volume and sensed distance upon socket enlargement, and a rapid decrease upon reduction. Subsequently, there were gradual changes in fluid volume and sensed distance. While visually monitoring limb fluid volume data in real time, researchers were able to adjust socket size to maintain consistent limb fluid volume within a -0.7% to +0.9% volume change for 24 min.
INTERPRETATION: Participant residual limbs compensated to socket size adjustment. Using socket-mounted sensors to monitor limb-socket mechanics, an automatic adjustable socket that maintains limb fluid volume may be possible and may improve socket fit in instances where fit deteriorates during use.
