ABSTRACT To determine the effects of a sensory feedback device developed at Sabolich Prosthetic & Research Center for lowerlimb amputees, 12 transfemoral (aboveknee) and 12 transtibial (below-knee) unilateral amputees were recruited from a convenience population for testing.

After subjects completed the pre-testing protocol, the Sense-of-Feel (SOF) device was incorporated into the pre-test socket and five- to six-hour familiarization periods were provided.
