Are you or do you know a below-the-knee amputee?

The AmpuEase Research team from Adelaide University are working with below-the-knee amputees to understand their day-to-day experiences and socket challenges. Through detailed surveys, group discussions, and advanced medical imaging, this study aims to uncover how limb, socket, and mobility factors interact, so they can support improved socket design and fitting for a wide range of users.
