Industry-Wide Evaluation of Prosthetic Socket Strength Maria Gerschutz,
PhD, CPO Prosthetic sockets are the fundamental connection between an
amputee's residual limb and his prosthesis. However, prosthetic sockets
are not subjected to standard test evaluations like most other
prosthetic components. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the
static strength and variability of diagnostic sockets, copolymer
sockets, and definitive laminated sockets as they are currently produced
in the industry.
Maria J. Gerschutz, PhD, CPO, attained her doctorate in engineering from
Wright State University (Dayton, OH) focusing in biomedical engineering.
As an applied research engineer at WillowWood, she is responsible for
testing and evaluating current and new products with an emphasis on
patient outcomes.
Gerschutz coordinates WillowWood's supported academic and resident
research projects. She has published several journal articles and has
presented research outcomes at numerous national conferences. Gerschutz
is a two-time recipient of the Thranhardt Award for her work on elevated
vacuum suspension and evaluation of prosthetic socket strength.
Member rate: $30/Nonmember rate: $50.
