Summary

Alignment of the prosthesis with the stump is performed through the socket. Good socket stump fit provides near-normal posture and weight-transfer pattern. It also ensures that the walk is painless and low-energy. Recently, studies have been carried out to use 3D printers in socket production. 3D method is accepted as an effective and reliable method in prosthetic socket production. The purpose of this study is to compare the pressures distrubution in the sockets produced by conventional and 3D scanners and printers in the transtibial amputee.

Conditions

• Transtibial Amputee
• Loading
• Conventional
• 3D

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	conventional manufactured socket	Presssure disturubition will be measured in conventional manufactured socket during walking and stairing up and down activities in unilateral transtibial amputees
OTHER	3D manufactured socket	Presssure disturubition will be measured in 3D manufactured socket during walking and stairing up and down activities in unilateral transtibial amputees
