Can anyone comment on the Hosmer Metal Flexible Hinges for a Below
Elbow Prosthesis? The particulars of my case is I have 4 below the
elbow joint to my stump, I use a 6X work hook, and a modified Muenster
Socket. I often lift heavy weights and put my device through a lot of
abuse.
I'm thinking about switching my Nylon Web Hinges for metal hingers as
they seem far more durable and practical. My nylon web hinges are
delaminating, fraying and get filthy dirty in very short time and are
very impractical for my situation. I'm not familiar with any other type
of metal hinge device but I'm open for suggestions. Any information
would be greatly appreciated.
