The purpose of this pilot study was to conduct a head-to-head comparison of two designs for transhumeral level upper limb prosthetic sockets: a traditional socket design and a socket design hypothesized to provide greater skeletal stabilization. The investigators comparisons included assessments of patient comfort and satisfaction with fit, as well as dynamic kinematic assessment using X-Ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology (XROMM) a novel high-speed, high-resolution, bi-plane video radiography system.
