Is the subischial socket better than others in subjects with transfemoral amputation? A systematic review of randomized and controlled clinical trials.

Rehabilitation is often complex for persons with transfemoral amputation, and poor socket fit is one of the main factors affecting gait re-education, rehabilitation, and quality of life. The present study systematically reviewed the literature to test whether the subischial socket provides better outcomes in comfort, quality of life, and mobility than other transfemoral sockets. Systematic review and meta-analysis.
