Developing a control framework for self-adjusting prosthetic sockets incorporating tissue injury risk estimation and generalized predictive control.
Article in Biomedical engineering letters, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
To perform activities of daily living (ADL), people with lower limb amputation depend on the prosthetic socket for stability and proprioceptive feedback. Poorly fitting sockets can cause discomfort, pain, limb tissue injuries, limited device usage, and potential rejection. Semi-passively controlled adjustable socket technologies exist, but these depend upon the user's perception to determine safe interfacial pressure levels. This paper presents a framework for automatic control of an adjustable transtibial prosthetic socket that enables active adaptation of residuum-socket interfacial loading through localized actuators, based on soft tissue injury risk estimation. Using finite element analysis, local interfacial pressure vs. compressive tissue strain relationships were estimated for three discrete anatomical actuator locations, for tissue injury risk assessment within a control structure. Generalized Predictive Control of multiple actuators was implemented to maintain interfacial pressure within estimated safe and functional limits. Controller simulation predicted satisfactory dynamic performance in several scenarios. Actuation rates of 0.06-1.51 kPa/s with 0.67% maximum overshoot, and 0.75-1.58 kPa/s were estimated for continuous walking, and for a demonstrative loading sequence of ADL, respectively. The developed platform could be useful for extending recent efforts in adjustable lower limb prosthetic socket design, particularly for individuals with residuum sensory impairment.
