Understanding the effects of suspension systems on lower-limb prosthesis rotation

This is the first study to measure the effectiveness of different prosthetic suspension systems using a representative mock limb. The results show that there are significant differences between the systems, highlighting the need to consider a user's activity level and rotational demands in prosthetic provision.
