Naturally your residual limb will change size during the course of the day. The game changer for prosthetic users is wearing a prosthesis that can change in sync with these volume fluctuations. Over the last 5 years, creative and prosthetic minds developed innovative ways to improve the bond between a person and their prosthesis. The development of the Socket-Less Socket™ and adjustable sockets has made self-adjusting prostheses possible. In mere seconds, you can self-adjust your socket fit, doing away with midday breaks to add sock plies or gel pads. Even more exciting, these technological advancements ultimately lead to a more intimate bond with your residual limb, through micro-adjustments that you can facilitate in minutes.

This guide is rather old (2018), there are other systems out there. But they all work pretty much on the same principles.
