Comparison of In-Socket and Post Doffing Residual Limb Extracellular Fluid Volumes
Joan E. Sanders, PhD
The purpose of this study was to address questions regarding how substantial volume changes are, what effect patient activity has and how maintaining a liner on the limb affect residual limb extracellular fluid volumes.
  TL2 Thranhardt Lecture
Randomized Cross-Over Study of AFO Ankle Components in Adults with Post-Stroke Hemiplegia
Stefania Fatone, PhD, BPO(Hons), Rebecca Stine, MS, Steve Gard, PhD
The purpose of this randomized cross-over study was to assess the effect of different ankle components on the gait of adults with post-stroke hemiplegia who wore articulated AFOs.

How Accurate are Carved Positives Made by Central Fabrication Facilities
Joan E. Sanders, PhD
The purpose of the current research was to extend an initial investigation comparing shape matches between electronic data files sent to ten central fabrication facilities and the actual returned sockets to assess exclusively the carving phase of socket fabrication. Shape differences between carved positives and electronic shape files were investigated.
