Comfort in prosthetic sockets remains a significant challenge for many amputees, particularly for above-knee amputees bearing substantial weight on their soft tissue [1], [2]. The predominant source of discomfort often originates from swelling of the...

It has been estimated that approximately 7000 people undergo limb amputation in the UK every year [1]. This issue is even more significant in the US, where over 150,000 people undergo lower limb extremity amputations, and this number is predicted to...
