Looking or a socket design that maximizes knee flexion for cycling. This
pt. is 6'5 with a 8 residual limb that has global scarring and skin
graphs. He is being fit with the Harmony HD vacuum pump. He currently
feels like the suction is pulling too much to allow appropriate knee
flexion. I do not want to lower the posterior brim any more, because I do
not want to lose fit and increase the anterior distal pressure. Thanks for
your ideas.
