Design of an open-source transfemoral bypass socket

Öberg, VictorChalmers tekniska högskola,Chalmers University of Technology (author)

The development of control algorithms and prosthetic hardware for lower limb prostheses involves an iterative testing process. Here, we present the design and validation of a bypass socket to enable able-bodied researchers to wear a leg prosthesis for evaluation purposes. The bypass socket can be made using a 3D-printer and standard household tools. It has an open-socket design that allows for electromyography recordings. It was designed for people with a height of 160 – 190 cm and extra caution should be observed with users above 80 kg. The use of a safety harness when wearing a prosthesis with the bypass socket is also recommended for additional safety.
