Figures

Figure 1. Prosthetic load device. The subject sits in the chair and pushes against the footplate to apply force to the prosthesis. A digital force gauge coupled to the footplate monitors the applied force.

Figure 2. Photographs of the prosthetic loading device. A. The apparatus is positioned on the CT table, allowing the residuum to be scanned under load. B. Close-up photograph of the digital force gauge.

Figure 3. Applied force data from sample studies. The plots show the stability of the applied force during the CT studies. The dashed vertical lines delineate the scanning interval.

Figure 4. Tomographic evaluation of prosthetic fit. The upper images show coronal and sagittal views of a residuum under (A) no-load and (B) full body weight loading. The lowest row of images shows radial plots from the same limbs aligned in the same orientation as the coronal slices. The radial distance from the centroid of each transaxial slice of the residuum to the surface is represented as a grayscale level under no-load (A) and full body weight (B) conditions. The radial samples are plotted at 1-° intervals. The far right panel (C) contains deformation information derived from the difference of the no-load and full body weight load conditions (C=A-B). The grayscale ranges from 0 mm to 32 mm in images A and B and the grayscale range is -15 mm to 15 mm for image C.
