Artificial limb cosmesis design : a study of materials and production methods for improved performance
A strain analysis of the foams used as cosmeses for artificial limbs was conducted. It was found that on flexion of an artificial limb strain occurred in the knee region. The mechanical properties of cosmeses materials suggested that the foams would not fail at the strain levels measured when undama...
