1. Prosthetic Socket Fit & Comfort Score
SCS

2. What Is the SCS Adaptation of ‘Pain Scale’
0 (most uncomfortable) – 10 (most comfort)
Subjective rating of comfort of the prosthesis

3. Study by Hanspal
Purpose: To Validate the SCS Patients: 44 amputees (vascular, trauma, congenital) in a clinic setting

4. Independent Prosthetist
Method
M.D
Seen by MD, records appearance of poor fit
Patient fills out SCS
Independent Prosthetist
Waits 30 minutes
Patient given SCS
Treating Prosthetist
Records fit of prosthesis
Intervention to socket if needed
After 20 minutes, patient given SCS
Independent Prosthetist has no knowledge of intervention or not
1 Hour passes

5. Results
SCS shows high, consistent correlation between the 3 scores from all assessors
Strong relationship between reported SCS & clinical evidence of poor fit as seen by MD and prosthetist
Significant changes in SCS after intervention

6. Conclusion
SCS has shown repeatability, criterion validity and sensitivity to change
