Comparative Effectiveness of Socket Casting Methods: Improving Form and Fit
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Symphonie Aqua SystemTM and Hand Casting for Lower Limb Amputation. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 3 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
The overall objective is to compare hand casting to standing hydrostatic pressure casting using a water cylinder in persons with lower limb amputation. Our overall hypothesis is that standing hydrostatic pressure casting with a water cylinder will lead to more consistent and efficient residual limb shape capture and improved initial socket fit and comfort compared to hand casting.
