“…Specifically, in a previous study, a thigh lacer was found to reduce pressures in a TTA residual limb by up to 40% during standing. 35 In this present study we observed that usage of a thigh corset significantly decreased the internal stresses in the residual limb during gait (by $80%). Also, the stresses calculated during the trial of patient M who complained about pain and discomfort were the highest, confirming that his socket was not optimally fitted (Figs.…”

“…This resulted in greater stresses at the GA than at the FA of patient SH. Also, all stress measures of patient SH were much lower in magnitude (<6 kPa at the FA and <11 kPa at the GA) compared to IA and M, either because the PTB prosthesis of patient SH was very well fitted, 35 or because some cavities in his socket prevented adequate contact of the residual limb with the force sensors. The low stresses in the trial of patient SH may also be explained by his relatively long residual limb, which is more than 2 cm longer than the residual limbs of other patients (Table 3).…”

“…The biomechanical characteristics of the TC-SB suspension have received a limited deal of attention in the literature. Although the TC-SB suspension was the most prescribed suspension for transtibial prostheses until 1958, its application has decreased greatly nowadays [8]. Satisfied experienced amputees with TC-SB suspension due to their fear of successful prosthetic use prefer no change in their suspension and are psychologically dependent on it to keep their current level of activity [3,11].…”

“…The TC-SB is an auxiliary suspension consisting of a leather or thermoplastic thigh corset and two metal side bars that connect to the socket by bilateral hinges. The thigh corset should be fastened around the distal two thirds of thigh [8]. The literature suggested that its application should be limited to amputees with fragile skin, unstable knee joint, insufficient residual limb length, insufficient patellar tendon bearing, distal residual limb pain, heavy duty jobs and mental retardation [4,[7][8][9][10][11][12].…”
