Deploying Digital Prosthetic Interface Technology and Exercise in Dysvascular Amputees
Sponsor: Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital
Summary
The study will test a new approach to the design and implementation of socket and liner technology in individuals who lost a lower limb secondary to diabetes mellitus type II (herein referred to as dysvascular amputees). The technology-based intervention will be combined with an exercise program designed to improve the health status of dysvascular amputees.

Interventions
digital prosthetic interface technology
Individuals randomized to this group will receive a socket and liner that are manufactured using a novel technique meant to achieve a better distribution of pressure on the residuum. The study is based on the hypothesis that an improvement in pressure distribution on the residuum will enable high adherence to an exercise program meant to improve health status in dysvascular amputees.
