| Research Abstract |
Compression value of a prosthetic socket was quantified and optimum value was investigated from measurement of changes of residual limb shape by donning the socket. Furthermore, a relation between constitution of tissues and elasticity of a residual limb was confirmed by analysis of constitution of internal tissue by MRI.
In the presents, the compression value is estimated based on experiences and skills of prosthetists, and adjusted by repetitive trial fitting, however, it needs lots of time and skilled technique.
As the result of this research, consideration of a numerical guideline for compression value by analysis of correlation between elasticity and constitution of internal tissue is significance in terms of reduction of leading time for fitting prostheses.
