J PROSTHET ORTHOT , 2011, vol. 23, n° 2, p. 82-88 Doc n°: 153163 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : EB312 - MEMBRE RESIDUEL - AMPUTATION TRANSFEMORALE, EC16 -PROTHESE DE MEMBRE INFERIEUR A case study - Vacuum-assisted suspension uses the creation of a negative pressure differential to hold a gel liner securely to the walls of the prosthetic socket to reduce the migration of the residual limb within the prosthesis. The eliminated movement or pistoning of the residual limb within the socket is believed to contribute to increased comfort and function in persons with a transtibial amputation by reducing peak pressures during ambulation.
