Abstract
Prosthetic socket is an interface to attach a prosthesis to the residual limb of an amputee. The comfort of the amputee relies on the socket as the body weight of the amputee, during walking, running or climbing, is loaded to the residual limb via the socket. Currently a prosthetic socket is designed using a trial and error method by a prosthetist who needs to be well trained. In order to optimize the design of the socket for the lower limb amputees, an integrated sensors system was developed. This paper presents an integrated tri-axial force sensor system for the design of the prosthetic socket.
