Hi All,
Please help if you can. I have done approximately 15-20 AK sockets in my
short career. I am currently in the test socket stage of fitting a long time
prosthetic user with a new limb. It is a simple quad socket, one ply fit,
silisian belt suspension. She absolutely loves it and feels very comfortable
when walking. The alignment looks excellent and her gait is much improved
with a new socket and newer components. Her previous socket was too small
(due to weight gain) and she had been walking about 1.5-2 off the seat of
the socket, had a moderate adductor roll and apparently poor gait pattern
(circumduction in swing and outset foot placement in stance).
My problem (and, of course, her problem) is an awful skin rash that occurs
along the proximal brim, when she wears the test socket. At first it took
about two days to appear and now recurs within an hour of wear. I thought,
at first, that perhaps the proximal dimensions were too tight, so I opened
it up a bit. No change. Then I thought we should change the material. We
tried going from Surlyn to PetG/ Vivak. Next I think I should laminate but I
doubt this will help. This is where I need assistance!! Am unsure if this is
an allergy, pressure, traction, friction rub, etc.
Please tell me what you think. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Kristin Bradley, CP, CP(c)
