Many of my 3-S BK's have the perennial problem of discomfort and occasional
skin breakdown at the posterior brim of the socket and/or liner (Fillauer
or ALPS). I believe that the hamstring channels are modified to provide
enough relief, because this problem does not occur with cuff suspension
types from this clinic. It seems isolated to triple-S pattern sockets.
Does anyone have any answers or suggestions to this problem?
