Does anyone out there have experience with using roll on silicone liners for
UL prostheses?
I have a patient for whom this is working well, but he cannot don the liner
himself.
He has
left transhumeral deficiency
fleshy redundant tissue distally
and right arm damage
Poor/weak elbow flexion
no pronation of forearm
thumb adduction, but not opposition
good adducting pinch strength
He is a farmer who is intelligent and motivated.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
