Abstract : This paper reports the research work related to establishing biomechanical models for socket design. Through numerical simulation using finite element method, comprehensive relationships between pressure on residual limb and socket geometry were established. This allowed local topological adjustment for the socket so as to optimize the pressure distributions across the residual limb. Index Terms - Above knee amputee, Finite element simulation, Hyperplastic model, Prosthetic socket.
