Formål: Formålet med studiet er at undersøge SIS i forhold til traditionelle TF-hylstre. Vi vil se på hoftemomenter og -vinkler under standfasen, i frontalplan, hos to transfemoralt amputerede. For den ene deltager undersøges vores SIS ifht. deltagerens eget QUAD-hylster, og for den anden deltager  undersøges vores SIS ifht. deltagerens eget ICS. Der laves ingen sammenligninger mellem deltagerne.

Metode: Studiet er klassificeret som et casestudie, hvor der indgår to mandlige deltagere, som undersøges hver for sig. Deltagerne bærer en SIS, fremstillet af forfatterne, og deres egne hylstre: ICS og QUAD. Dataene indsamles ved brug af ganganalyse og analyseres med deskriptiv statistik.

Resultat: Resultatet viser en forskel mellem SIS og ICS/QUAD, hvor det mindste hoftemoment ses når deltagerne bærer SIS. Deltager 1  har en mindsket hoftevinkel med QUAD, og dermed en større adduktion med dette hylster. Deltager 2 har mest adduktion ved brug af SIS.

Konklusion: Der kan ses en forskel i hoftemoment og hoftevinkel ved brug af SIS, og ICS/QUAD.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to investigate SIS versus traditional TF-sockets. We are looking at the hip torque and hip angle in the frontal plane of two transfemoral amputees during the stance phase. Both of these are measured when wearing a sub-ischial containment socket (SIS) and when wearing their own sockets, i.e. a ischial containment socket (ICS) and quadrilateral socket (QUAD), respectively. Two separate comparisons are made, one for each participant.

Method: The study is classified as a case study. The participants are two transfemorally amputated men. The participants wear a SIS, made by the authors, and their own socket: an ICS and a QUAD. Data is collected with the use of gait analysis and analysed with descriptive statistics. 

Results:  The results show a difference between the SIS, and ICS/QUAD where the lowest hip torque is found when wearing a SIS for both participants. One participant has the lowest hip angle, and thus adduction, when wearing the SIS, and the other has the lowest angle when wearing his own socket, a QUAD.

Conclusion: There is a difference in hip moment and angle in the frontal plane between a SIS and ICS/QUAD
