Improving Prosthetic Care for Patients With a Lower Limb Amputation

Twenty participants will be fitted with a 3D Printed socket created using 3DPrintAbility hardware and software. To do this, a 3D model of the participants residual limb will be generated which will be used to create the 3D printed sockets. These 20 participants will also receive standard care for prosthetic fitting at SJR. The fittings will be done by one prosthetist. Our team will compare the feasibility, function, quality and stability of the prosthetics through quantitative, economic and qualitative analyses. All fittings will be done under the supervision of a qualified Sunnybrook prosthetist who has previous experience with using 3D printed technologies for creation of prosthetics.
