Media to Lateral reduction in a Prosthetic socket Should be Consistent, Not Variable
Socket reduction is one of the most experience-driven steps in the design process. Different clinicians, time constraints, or even the same clinician on different days can introduce variability.
In digital workflows, this often translates into inconsistent pressure application and repeated fine-tuning.
We’ve been working on introducing machine-assisted reduction where anatomically informed suggestions help guide the process, while keeping full clinical control.
This includes:
• Suggested reduction patterns based on limb geometry
• Region-specific control over magnitude of reduction
• Ability to accept, modify or override recommendations
So reduction becomes more consistent without taking away clinical judgment.
When variability reduces, predictability improves.
