Keith Cornell has been a leading specialist in upper and lower prosthetics since 1978.
Known for his personalized care and focus on helping amputees of varying degrees of mobility levels, he's helped pass the Prosthetic Parity legislation in Massachusetts, ensuring comprehensive coverage for prosthetic care under the law. He observed that the vast majority of prosthetic socket issues and failures could be attributed to the patient’s residual limb volume changes (RLVC) and the socket’s rigidity.
Therefore, he designed and developed the CJ ActivFIT Socket, a truly novel departure from conventional rigid or semi-rigid solid sockets, that allows the patient to easily adjust the fit of the socket to accommodate their limb volume changes, providing them with unprecedented flexibility and comfort and significantly improving their quality of life.
