Abstract

This is a report of a diabetic transtibial amputee with severe pain and ulcer in the antero-distal of the tibia. A novel prosthetic socket with an antero-distal silicone wall was designed. The result showed that the patient's satisfaction was increased and the average peak pressure was reduced by using the new socket design.

Keywords: lower‐limb amputation; pressure; prosthesis; socket; stability.
