I have a 61 year old left transfemoral patient who also has CP. His right leg has approximately 5 degrees of flexion and is basically fused. He is highly motivated and is simply looking for something to help him transfer and ambulate on a very limited basis (inside the home, work, etc.). Once he's up, we can get him into a better fitting socket and allow him to wear his prosthesis comfortably all day. The issue is going from sitting to standing from his wheelchair, toilet, etc...... With the left knee fused, he cannot push himself up. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
