Noticing a few below knee clients over the years whom I've had to increase
their lateral offset. Looks like their residual limb is slowly curving
medially. One of those client's recently complains of lateral distal pain.
What have you done to resolve
this pain or other complaints you've observed from curved limb BK's? What
recourse might below knee amputees have when it comes to their limb curve?
