Comparison of Ischial Containment and Subischial Sockets on Comfort, Function, Quality of Life, and Satisfaction With Device in Persons With Unilateral Transfemoral Amputation: A Randomized Crossover Trial
2021, Archives of Physical Medicine and RehabilitationCitation Excerpt :In a recent study, Kahle et al33 allowed participants to determine their own accommodation time to 3 different sockets (including a subischial socket), but unfortunately the accommodation times were not reported. Finally, although the sample may be considered small, to our knowledge this is the largest randomized crossover trial reported to date comparing transfemoral sockets.3,4,10,12,14,33-43 The results of this trial are limited in their generalizability to those with unilateral TFA of nonvascular origin who are relatively young and experienced prosthesis users, with relatively high levels of mobility.
Satisfaction and problems experienced with transfemoral suspension systems: A comparison between common suction socket and seal-in liner
2013, Archives of Physical Medicine and RehabilitationCitation Excerpt :In a prospective study, Trieb et al15 compared satisfaction with transfemoral prostheses when wearing a contour adducted trochanteric controlled-alignment socket with and without a silicone liner. They reported that with the silicone liner the socket could be used for longer hours and reduce skin trauma, resulting in enhanced quality of life.15 Similarly, participants in the current study were more satisfied with the Seal-In silicone liner and experienced less problems.
Transtibial prosthetic socket pistoning: Static evaluation of Seal-In <sup>®</sup> X5 and Dermo <sup>®</sup> Liner using motion analysis system
2012, Clinical BiomechanicsCitation Excerpt :Questionnaire study by Cluitmans et al. (1994), Hachisuka et al. (1998) and Datta et al. (1996) reported improved suspension in 96, 63 and 15% of their subjects with the silicon liners, respectively. Manufacturers of prosthetic components have always attempted to come up with new innovative suspension systems to lessen pistoning (Trieb et al., 1999; Wirta et al., 1990). The recent development of the prosthetic liner Seal-In® X5 by Össur (Reykjavik, Iceland), a new suction suspension liner with hypobaric sealing membrane around the silicon liner without an external sleeve or shuttle lock which increases surface contact with the socket wall, motivated us to study the effects of this new liner on prosthetic suspension.
