Summary
The purpose of this pilot study was to conduct a head-to-head comparison of two designs for transhumeral level upper limb prosthetic sockets: a traditional socket design and a socket design hypothesized to provide greater skeletal stabilization. The investigators comparisons included assessments of patient comfort and satisfaction with fit, as well as dynamic kinematic assessment using X-Ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology (XROMM) a novel high-speed, high-resolution, bi-plane video radiography system.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Male and female transhumeral amputees, 18 years or older of any ethnicity, who are current prosthetic users.
Exclusion Criteria
- Subjects with frozen shoulder of the residual side, and/or severely limited active range of motion of the shoulder joint of the residual limb
- Inability to tolerate wearing of a prosthetic socket
- Mental impairment that renders a subject unable to comply with the study
- Skin conditions such as burns or poor skin coverage as well as those with severe contractures that prevent prior prosthetic wear
- Any electrically controlled medical device including pacemaker, implanted defibrillator or drug pumps
- Neuropathy, uncontrolled diabetes, receiving dialysis
- Any other significant comorbidity which would interfere with the study
- Severe circulatory problems including peripheral vascular disease and pitting edema will be excluded
- Cognitive deficits or mental health problems that would limit ability to participate fully in the study protocol
- Women who are pregnant or who plan to become pregnant in the near future
