Text:
A transfemoral patient, female, functional level 3, tendency toward 4,
relatively long residual limb, wants a swim prosthesis.
The idea:
Standard prosthesis, flexible socket with an easy-on / easy-off quick detach
frame (socket shall be kept on in the water, prosthesis otherwise detached).
The socket should also allow for quick connection/disconnection of some
specific swim components (she is an active swimmer).
Anyone with specific or related experience out there?
Components available? If so where?
Thank you for your help and hints.
