Bending strength test and evaluation of a transtibial prosthetic socket fabricated by selective laser sintering

Transtibial prosthetic sockets made using selective laser sintering (SLS) of Duraform (™) PA have no documented failure data. In order to produce prostheses with safe weight and usage limits, a non-standard bending test was needed to determine the maximimi safe loading of the socket and to recommend...
