Suspension sleeve for power walker

Suspension sleeve for power walker

Mike Rieth, LPO

10/23/2007

I have a BK amputee who walks up to 5 miles/day and is a long time supracondylar suspension wearer.? This has proven inadequate, as during her walk she loses volume and begins to piston, causing massive problems. I have tried numerous suspension sleeves, all are, too restrictive.? She is a very short BK, approx. 3. Weight is a big issue.? Any suggestions would be most helpful.

Sincerely,
M. Rieth, LPO
