Preliminary development and validation of a textile-based pressure-sensing system for lower-limb prosthetic sockets
These results were similar to commonly used off-the-shelf pressure sensors, and the sock performance is, therefore, promising. However, further development is required, including form factor improvements, implementation of shear-sensing capabilities, calibration, and validation with prosthesis users.
