Results support the hypothesis that for people without co-morbidities, intermittent incremental socket volume enlargements are an effective accommodation strategy to increase limb fluid volume while maintaining socket fit. Intermittent incremental socket volume reductions decreased limb fluid volume but also made the socket fit tighter.
