Abstract
Twelve patients with below-knee amputations were assigned one of two methods for wrapping the residual limb: elastic bandaging and elastic shrinker socks. The limbs were measured over a period of four weeks to compare volumetric change. The results indicate the elastic shrinker sock to be more effective in decreasing residual limb volume.
