Abstract: Aspects of inventive concepts are generally directed to a liner, methods of use, methods of design, and related systems. In various embodiments, the liner is configured to serve as an interface between an external surface of a biological body segment of a subject and a prosthetic socket, the biological body segment being amputated below a joint. In various embodiments, a pressure applied by the liner to the biological body segment varies over the length of the liner with a maximum pressure applied at the joint and a lesser pressure applied below the joint.
