Clinicians know that for new prosthesis users the task of donning a prosthetic limb and achieving a comfortable fit can become a frustrating stumbling block. Due to the variable shape and volume fluctuations of the residual limb, along with the potential to misunderstand the donning sequence, an individual can experience difficulty obtaining a proper prosthetic socket fit without the help of a clinician. While many self-management educational materials exist to help clients manage the fit of their devices, sometimes those aren’t enough-especially for people with complex suspension solutions or mild cognitive impairments.
