Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial is testing a new type of adjustable prosthetic socket to see if it improves comfort and function for veterans with lower limb amputations compared to regular sockets. The iFIT transtibial prosthetic system has shown promising results in previous studies, indicating improved comfort and lower intrasocket peak pressures compared to conventional prostheses.
