Dear List,
I have a Transfemoral patient who has developed a 20 degree hip flexion
contracture. I would like to flex the socket and move it forward enough to allow
proper knee function. I seem to remember some manufacturer had a black
aluminum plate with approximately 15-20 bend and was long enough to allow the
socket to be placed anterior. It wasn't a slide type adaptor, just simply
incorporated a series of holes.
I appreciate any help in locating this adaptor.
