The study will test a new approach to the design and implementation of socket and liner technology in individuals who lost a lower limb secondary to diabetes mellitus type II (herein referred to as dysvascular amputees). The technology-based intervention will be combined with an exercise program designed to improve the health status of dysvascular amputees.

Difference in intra-socket interface pressure between the two groups
Pressure sensors inserted in the socket will be used to measure the pressure on the residuum when study participants are weight bearing. The pressure is measured in kilopascals (kPa). 1 kPa is approximately the pressure exerted by a 10-g mass resting on a 1-cm2 area.
Baseline
Difference in step counts between the two groups
The average number of steps over a period of 2 weeks will be provided by a wearable sensor (Oura ring). The data will be expressed in number of steps per day.

Difference in thermal imaging measures of the temperature of the residuum in the two groups

Study participants randomized to this group will use the digital prosthetic interface technology developed by Bionic Skins.
Study participants randomized to this group will use a traditional socket-liner technology (i.e., study participants will use their own liner and socket system).
Individuals randomized to this group will receive a socket and liner that are manufactured using a novel technique meant to achieve a better distribution of pressure on the residuum. The study is based on the hypothesis that an improvement in pressure distribution on the residuum will enable high adherence to an exercise program meant to improve health status in dysvascular amputees.
