Overview
Brief Summary
Socket is key to provide comfort and function to lower limb amputees. A new socket, the sub-ischial socket, will be compared to "traditional" ischial containment sockets, based on comfort self-evaluation, and locomotor capacities.
Detailed Description
Subjects wearing ischail containment sockets will be proposed to enter the research. They will be provided and fitted with a sub-ischial socket. Randomly, they will use one or the other socket for four weeks, then be tested : finctional test and questionnaires. After this testing session, they will use the other socket, and be re-tested accordingly.
