Good Evening Comrades,
I have a 74 year old male who is a new left transtibial amputee. He had a
stroke previously which has left him without the use of his right hand.
Patient has a strong desire to continue his independence at his home as he
lives alone. I have cast him with a locking Alpha liner suspension with the
hope that he can invert the liner by rolling the gel against a coffee table
etc. to try and use the table and his left hand to don the liner. He can
unlatch the Coyote Easy Lock easily with his one hand. It just seems to be
more about the liner donning that is going to be the trick. Any suggestions
on making this task easier? Or if needed we could consider an alternative
style suspension. It is in the check socket stage at a SNF at this time so
we would have the ability to change if needed.
I will post responses. Thank you for your feedback!
