I have been contacted by an amputee from southern Illinois who is in search
of a good prosthetist who has experience with torso sockets. It appears
that he is a bilateral amputee with some paralysis as well. He has been
fitted with at least three such prostheses in the past by reputable
practitioners but remains largely non-functional. He is very motivated to
be fit with an appropriate prosthesis. He also is able to travel to be fit.
Would anyone who has experience fitting this type of patient please contact
me at <Email Address Redacted> . Thank you.
