Evaluation of NU-FlexSIV Socket Performance for Military Service Members with Transfemoral Amputation.

The NU-FlexSIV Socket provided greater hip motion across a variety of tasks without adversely affecting other movement mechanics but did not consistently improve socket comfort. Variability in the liners and socket materials used may have contributed to variability in results. Overall, the design was a viable alternative to traditional ischial containment sockets for some individuals with transfemoral amputation.
