Does anybody have any good or bad experiences in using TEC-liners for
trans-femoral amputees, especially with regard to the distal pin attachment?
I am considering using this for a patient with limited dexterity due to a
partial one sided upper limb paralysis. He finds doffing and donning the
prosthesis to change stumpsocks during the day too much hassle and he is
not keen on a suction prosthesis. A silicon liner with distal pin wouldn't
allow much volume change during the day so would a TEC with distal pin be
the answer?
Thank you for your thoughts on this matter.
