Assessing Socket Fit Effects on Pressure and Shear at a Transtibial Residuum/Socket Interface

<div>Mean and ± 1 SD of P, S<sub>C</sub>, and S<sub>L</sub> measured at (a–c) AD, (d–f) PF, and (g–i) PT sites, respectively, as a function of GC (<i>n</i> = 7) for different sock layers during level walking. Illustrations above pressure profiles show shear directions at each site, where positive shear indicates the residuum rotates laterally (+S<sub>C</sub>) and moves distally (+S<sub>L</sub>).</div>
