A well-designed prosthetic suspension system is essential for keeping the residual limb securely inside the prosthetic socket. It greatly affects the mobility and satisfaction of amputees. Although many suspension systems are available for transtibial amputees but expensive. To create and test a locally-made Shuttle Lock suspension system that is more affordable. An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the performance of the newly developed Shuttle Lock suspension system made locally. The locally-made Shuttle Lock suspension system was well-received by users, providing a comfortable, secure, and durable solution for transtibial prosthesis users. The shuttle lock suspension system covers the residual limb and the prosthetic socket to provide a lock and secure system that is easy to use, although areas of difficulty which included misalignment and pressure concerns were noted, they were small compared to the fact that it was easy to put on and take off.
