Stress Distribution and Optimum Design of Polypropylene and Laminated Transtibial Prosthetic Sockets. FEM and Experimental Implementations

Scientific Study from the year 2017 in the subject Medicine - Other, , language: English, abstract: This study presents analyses for below knee prosthetic socket of a human. Socket stress distribution is performed on three types of socket, polypropylene (5mm), polypropylene (3mm) and a standard laminate (3mm) sockets to determine the stresses path through the prosthetic socket during the gait cycl...
