Microlearning - Socket Comfort of Volume-Adjustable Interfaces Compared to Standard of Care (ML2025-03)

(0.25 Scientific Credits) This microlearning is based on the Critically Appraised Topic (CAT) “Socket Comfort of Volume-Adjustable Interfaces Compared to the Standard of Care” by Nielson and Caldwell (2024). It examines whether volume-adjustable socket interfaces improve comfort and user satisfaction compared to traditional, fixed-volume sockets in individuals with lower limb amputation. Through an overview of current evidence and interactive case applications, learners will explore how socket design influences comfort, residual limb volume management, and overall prosthetic use outcomes.

In this bite-size module, you’ll watch a short presentation from the study authors, review the full poster, and apply the findings in a clinical scenario and knowledge check in approximately 15 minutes.
