Study: Aluminum prosthesis liner coatings don’t reduce sweating O&P Edge A research study has concluded that coating prosthesis liners with a five per cent aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrate antiperspirant solution (AZCH) does not reduce local sweating on the thigh in temperate or hot environments. Fourteen able-bodied participants (28 ±5 years old, with a body mass of 73.9 ± 7.9kg) simultaneously wore a prosthesis liner on each leg, one treated with AZCH and one untreated, for four days prior to running at 50 per cent of their VO2peak for 60 minutes in an environment characterized as temperate (23.7 ± 0.7°C and 42.2 ± 2.6 per cent relative humidity) or hot (34.0 ± 1.6°C and 40.8 ± 6.1 per cent relative humidity).
