The development and evaluation of a novel passive approach to maintaining residuum volume in trans-tibial amputees
Reduction in residuum volume during periods of upright mobility is a common problem in lower limb amputees. A vacuum pump to reduce the in-socket air pressure has been shown to conserve residuum volume, but is expensive and not widely available. In this thesis an alternative (passive) approach to re...
