Dear List


   We have been having problems with our inner sockets shrinking after we have pulled and then laminated the sockets .If we fit the test socket with no socks and subsequently duplicate the socket, we are losing length as well as circumference, even when we bring the patient back the next day for fitting.The socket has changed so we are unable to don the socket at all.This happens in both our TT and TF patients.We also always walk the person on the test socket prior to fabricating the inner and outer frame.
   If this sounds familiar and you can help I would be interested in you responses.
