Why is pistoning a problem with transtibial suspension?

Undesirable motion of the residual limb up and down within the socket is termed “pistoning,” and this movement has been shown to increase stresses on the skin. The best suspension is the one that minimizes pistoning without unduly complicating donning and doffing of (putting on and taking off) the artificial limb.

How does a transtibial suspension reduce residual limb volume?

Another suspension variant combines the sleeve with the cushion liner and adds a small mechanical pump that increases the vacuum with every step. Preliminary data suggests that such augmented suction may reduce the normal fluctuations in the volume of the mature residual limb, although why this may be so has not been established.

Where is the hook placed in suspension therapy?

Difference Hook is placed above the joint under treatment. Hook is placed above the COG of the limb under treatment.  Axial Suspension  Vertical Suspension 31. Suspension Exercises 32.
