Transfemoral Hifi Socket System

We have recently become the first clinic in Western Canada to be trained and licenced to provide the High- Fidelity (Hi-Fi) Socket System. This system uses longitudinal struts to create alternating zones of tissue compression and release along the length of the socket. This results in a smaller zone of control around the remnant bone, allowing the bone to better control socket motion. Studies have shown the use of HiFi sockets to increase user’s stability, decrease pain and fatigue, and ultimately improve function. They have found increased gait symmetry, self-selected walking speed and reduced pistoning and rotation of the socket.
