We have had good success in our clinic using one of the gel liners (usually alpha) with patients with any kind of skin problems. If there is no excessive circumferential pressure either from the belt of the sleeve or changing stump circumference during wear, the full liner ought to help.
Question: why a SACH foot? If he's a good walker, wouldn't he get better roll over capabilities and less fatigue from a dynamic response foot? Does he have an insert for the partial foot? That could also alter weight bearing characteristics on the prosthesis if he is not walking through the partial foot with support throughout stance.
