In: 6th IEEE international conference on biomedical robotics and biomechatronics (BioRob); 2016 Jun 26–29; Singapore: IEEE; 2016. Nylander E, Ramstrand N, Hjort M, Rusaw DF. Development and validation of a sensitive MEDLINE search strategy to identify literature relevant to limb prostheses. Prosthet Orthot Int. 2021;45(3):289–94. From the 34 studies identified, the median number of participants is ten, however eight studies only included a single participant. Some of the case studies were focused on individuals with specific needs such as a bulbous residuum [ 26], whilst most others were aimed at demonstrating a proof of concept of a new design.

Depending on your amputation level, lifestyle, and your overall medical condition, each technology mentioned above is different. However, all share a common theme as they are focused on providing maximum comfort, empowerment, adjustability, and innovation. The differences lie in user preference and input from your Prosthetist.

Naturally your residual limb will change size during the course of the day. The game changer for prosthetic users is wearing a prosthesis that can change in sync with these volume fluctuations.

The most common adjustment method used in literature was inflatable bladders, whereas this was the least popular approach amongst commercially available designs. Moveable panels showed similar distributions across literature and industry, with hinged designs being the least popular. Only 14% of literature designs included multiple principles of adjustability, compared to 25% in industry. In four of these designs, variable length was a secondary principle of adjustment alongside circumferential adjustment, and one design detailing a concept containing moveable panel and circumferential adjustment. Most adjustability mechanisms can be user-adjusted, however in some designs length adjustment can only be implemented by the clinician.
