I am faced with a 40yr old hemi. Amputation secondary
to cancer. The doctor was nice enough to leave a mass
of tissue 6 long with a top circum. of 33. The
patient has no control over this tissue, flexion only
through lordosis movement. I can compress this soft
tissue to about 4 in length. I am looking for some
advise as to how to design a functional prosthesis for
him. He does not expect to be a high level ambulator
but patient needs to get away from hoping on his
crutches.
Thanks for your help
