Hi Listmembers,
I can understand that a soft flexible brim might be indicated for
a TT residual limb with significant redundant tissue. I can also see the
benefits for a bony residual limb if appropriate fenestrations are make
in the outer hard socket.
Are there any reasons/benefits to making a flexible inner socket
for a TT if no reliefs or fenestrations are make in the outer socket?
I'll post responses.
