A Pilot Clinical Trial to Assess the Effect of Transfemoral Socket Design on Hip Muscle Function
Abstract
The purpose of the proposed research is to evaluate how prosthetic socket design influences hip muscle function in transfemoral prosthesis users. The scope of the proposed research includes evaluating hip muscle function and its contribution to balance and mobility in unilateral lower limb prosthesis users, and testing whether walking with a sub-ischial socket alters hip muscle function in unilateral lower limb prosthesis users. This is to be accomplished by conducting cross-sectional (aim 1) and longitudinal (aim 2) studies to evaluate hip muscle function in lower limb prosthesis users (aim 1), and test whether it can be influenced by socket design in transfemoral prosthesis users (aim 2).
