The article presents a study which described the paucity of an objective recorded data delineating the pattern of weightbearing distribution within the prosthetic socket of patients with transtibial amputation. The researchers analyzed the information obtained from finite element analysis computer models. The experimental model accurately recorded loading within a transtibial prosthetic socket consistent with the previously reported finite element analysis computer models.
