Abstract
This work presents a model for the development of a socket mechanism for transtibial prosthesis. A survey was carried out with Brazilian amputee users, based on interviews to understand the context of use and to be able to identify problems of balance, ergonomic and friction problems in the prostheses’ socket. With this, a list of requirements was defined, and a semantic map was created, which guided the development of a 3D model of a prosthetic socket, aiming to minimize the mechanical friction, allowing the regulation of the pressure exerted on the stump and the adjustment of fit according to the need of user.
