Overview: We are a sub-team within the H-STEM Enterprise focusing on the development of prosthetic compatibility devices. Annually, 150,000 people undergo below-knee amputations and are then required to obtain a prosthetic [1]. As this number continues to increase, there is a strong need in the prosthetics industry for both a more accurate fitting method and long-term swelling/hypertrophy/atrophy trend data collection. As such, the prosthetic compatibility team seeks to develop an innovative, all-in-one pressure and topological characterization device(s) for below-the-knee amputees that can fill this need.
