Abstract
Rectification maps provide a means for comparing different methods of fitting prosthesis to limb. In this study, statistical analyses of rectification maps are described for the purpose of quantitative comparison of prosthesis fitting strategies. An example of-differences between fitting by a prosthetist and by a computer-automated system are used to illustrate the descriptive statistical methods
