P 027 - Feasability study of the use of silicon electrodes for EMG

This study is part of a wider project aiming at investigating the relative motion of the residual limb and the socket, the pressure inside the socket as well as the muscle activity in a population with transfemoral amputation. During prosthesis design one of the most important aspects is the proper fit between the residual limb and the socket. This relies mainly on the experience of the prosthetist[1]. One of the requirements for prosthesis is to provide suspension that is adhesive strength of the socket to the skin[2].
