Thigh Prosthetics Socket Technology – State of the Art

3:15 PM - 4:30 PM Tue, 19 May

Room 2, Congress Center OTWorld (CCO), Hall 3

Short description

Caught between modern liner systems and traditional total surface bearing sockets, it becomes clear: only a deep understanding of biomechanics and the residual limb conditions can ensure a long-term stable, comfortable, and mobility-enhancing prosthetic solution. While liners offer increased soft tissue protection and ease of use, a well-crafted total surface bearing socket often allows for more precise control and a greater sense of bodily awareness.
