Interventions
Release/Relock Socket - In Lab
The participants will operate the test socket in one of two test conditions: (1) pin re-lock before panel re-lock and (2) panel re-lock before pin re-lock. Participants will test each of the two conditions in a random order, in lab, following a structured protocol. Tests will determine if the order of the re-lock mechanisms influences changes in limb volume.
Release/Relock Socket - Out of Lab
The participants will operate the test socket in one of two test conditions: (1) pin re-lock before panel re-lock and (2) panel re-lock before pin re-lock. Participants will test each of the two conditions in a random order, out of lab, with no structured protocol. Tests will determine if the order of the re-lock mechanisms changes participant experience.
Release/Relock Socket & Control
The participants will operate the test socket in one of two test conditions: (1) release/relock mechanisms enabled and (2) release/relock mechanisms disabled. Participants will test each of the two conditions in a random order, out of lab, with no structured protocol. Tests will determine how the novel release/relock mechanisms compare against traditional socket release methods.
