Background and aim: Thermal discomfort often affects prosthesis wearers and could be addressed by increasing liner thermal
conductivity. This note explores a liner made from thermally conductive silicone and two additional alternative liner designs... Read More about The effect of liner design and materials selection on prosthesis interface heat dissipation.
