Influence of prior activity on residual limb volume and shape measured using plaster casting: Results from individuals with transtibial limb loss
Joan E. Sanders, PhD, et al.
The purpose of this research was to determine
whether prior activity affected the shape of a plaster
cast taken of a residual limb. Plaster casts were taken
twice a day on subjects with transtibial amputation
using standard clinical casting procedures. Results
showed that prior activity influenced residual-limb
cast shape. Patients with amputation and practitioners
should be mindful of the patient's activities before
casting for a new prosthetic socket.
