Dear List Members,

New content has been posted to the Gait Society Networking site. The latest Journal Club article relates to how different socket designs affect pressure within a trans-tibial socket.


Shane Wurdeman (Scientific Liason) has added a great summary and review on the site to start the discussion. This article takes on an important clinical issue of pressure distribution within the trans-tibial socket. The authors were able to recruit 48 subjects, and compare the surface pressure of a traditional hands-on casted socket and a hands-off socket casted with an inflated balloon (i.e. Icecast system).
