Title:
Liner for small KD
Text:
We are looking for suggestions on the best liner (TEC, Alps, Alpha, Ossur,
etc) for a very small, young, knee disarticulation amputee. His limb is 22
cm in length, 33 cm in circumference proximally and 17 distally. He has
good/great distal end bearing capability and we are considering fabricating a 3/4
length socket with suction or expulsion valve and sleeve suspension. At
present we are leaning toward Custom TEC or Alpha. Any feedback or suggestions
will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
