Paper Title
Study of FE Models for a Smart Sensor based Prosthetic Socket Design System
Abstract
This paper reports the research work related to establishing biomechanical models for socket design. Through
numerical simulation using finite element method, comprehensive relationships between pressure on residual limb and socket
geometry were established. This allowed local topological adjustment for the socket so as to optimize the pressure
distributions across the residual limb.
