Description
Summary:This study aims to suggest an analytical indirect approach to find the pressure distribution at the stumpsocket interface in the Syme's prosthesis. The results are compared with those obtained experimentally using the F-socket device. Finally, a finite element model was built to analyze the effect of the internal pressure on the socket. The analysis was made in the SOLIDWORKS subprogram in both static and dynamic solutions. The results show that there is a great agreement between the experimental and analytical results so it is possible to dispense the results of the F-Socket device in cases of the unavailability of it and depend on the analytical solution.
