Introduction and aims Lower limb prosthesis has proven to be an extremely successful intervention for amputees. However, to achieve adequate function, the device places significant friction and load on the skin, which leads to substantial skin breakd...

Background Epidermal composition influences the physical behaviour of the skin and its ability to withstand trauma. This is important on the plantar foot due to the high compression, shear, and torsion forces it is exposed to during weightbearing. P...
