A method for producing a structure for a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) includes deforming a projecting or overhanging formation of the structure within or out of a main plane of extent, such that the formation consequently assumes, in a rest position, a shape which is bent, curved, and / or angled with an upper side forming a convex outer side and an underside forming a concave outer side. The shape is obtained by a structuring having been introduced into at least one of the outer sides and / or by partial coverings having been applied to the at least one of the outer sides, and the structure then having been subjected to a treatment by which compressive stresses and / or tensile stresses in uncovered regions are introduced into layers close to a surface such that a desired deformation is generated by virtue of a difference in the stresses at the different outer sides.

The present disclosure describes self-adjusting sockets for lower limb prostheses in which each step transmits motion to a resilient resistive element coupled to an actuator configured to cycle between a rest position and an actuated position. The resistive element can transmit the motion to the actuator to cycle the actuator. Each cycle of the actuator acts through a mechanical linkage to tighten the socket around the residuum, until a desired threshold tightness on the residuum is reached. After the threshold tightness is reached, the resistive element yields and absorbs the motion rather than transmitting the motion, so that the actuator ceases to cycle on each step, preventing further tightening beyond the threshold.
