1 This article and any supplementary material should be cited as follows: Ghoseiri K, Safari MR. Prevalence of heat and perspiration discomfort inside prostheses: Literature review. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2014;51(6):XX–XX. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2013.06.0133 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682JRRD.2013.06.0133 JSP Prevalence of heat and perspiration discomfort inside prostheses: Literature review Kamiar Ghoseiri; Mohammad Reza Safari, PhD

2 This article and any supplementary material should be cited as follows: Ghoseiri K, Safari MR. Prevalence of heat and perspiration discomfort inside prostheses: Literature review. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2014;51(6):XX–XX. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2013.06.0133 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682JRRD.2013.06.0133 JSP Aim – Explore importance of thermal and perspiration discomfort inside prosthetic sockets by providing insight into prevalence of problem. Relevance – Thermal discomfort inside prosthetic sockets: Decreases quality of life and prosthesis use, comfort, and satisfaction. Puts people with amputations at high risk for skin irritations.

3 This article and any supplementary material should be cited as follows: Ghoseiri K, Safari MR. Prevalence of heat and perspiration discomfort inside prostheses: Literature review. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2014;51(6):XX–XX. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2013.06.0133 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682JRRD.2013.06.0133 JSP Method Performed literature search in 2 databases to find relevant articles: – PubMed. – Web of Knowledge (now Web of Science). After considering review criteria and hand- searching reference sections of selected studies, 38 studies were listed for review and data extraction.

4 This article and any supplementary material should be cited as follows: Ghoseiri K, Safari MR. Prevalence of heat and perspiration discomfort inside prostheses: Literature review. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2014;51(6):XX–XX. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2013.06.0133 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682JRRD.2013.06.0133 JSP Results >53% of people with amputation in selected studies experienced heat and/or perspiration discomfort inside their prostheses. Despite great technological advances, current prostheses are unable to resolve this problem.
