Good Day List Serve,
I am trying to locate a component used when setting up a TF socket (which
will be used with a liner and pin system) I have a lady who has about a
10-12 degree hip flexion contracture and so we will need to mount the socket
attachment posteriorly to the socket wall. I have seen in the past a
step-like metal attachment device (which doesn't sacrifice any length). It
allows the pin to protrude anteriorly to the attachment to the knee (or
other thigh components). We don't need this component but it would be nice
to reduce bulk and weight since she is a smaller lady. If not then I was
thinking the Coyote lock might be a great choice for her as well, instead
of a pin system. Haven't tried it yet, but would like too.
Am I explaining this clearly? (It's 4pm on the Friday of a really long
week!) I hope someone can help me find this.
TIA,
Kristin Schafer, CP(c)
