Hello All,
#1) Does there exist a valve (or other suction solution) for a person with an AKA, who lacks vision and manual dexterity to screw in and out the valve, to use with a wet fit suction socket?
#2) One of the PM&R Docs wants an elbow orthosis for a weight-lifter (bench pressing 600lbs) who avulsed the long head of his triceps (surgery attempted, but to no avail) to protect the remaining triceps. This person trains at 425 to 500 lbs bench. Any ideas or past experience?
Much appreciated!
