I know this may have already been posted however, the question arises...I am
caring for a 24 year old young lady who has bilat bk ampuations. She is
fortunate to be alive and is doing well. I am currently making her new limbs
and cosmesis has now become an issue since she has mastered ambulating and we
are doing well with comfort (thanks to the Ohio Willow Wood people and their
alpha liner system). My question to all of you is...what outer covering is
available that may even stretch over the trimline and knee and yet maintain
cosmesis and durability.
My second question to you prosthetists and ladies who are out there,,,,,what
is the option for these ladies who come in the door and some toting pictures
of other women whose prosthetic limbs LOOK stunning in the magazines.
Thanks in Advance,
