What other types of prosthetic feet are used and what alignment issues are there in relation to providing Stubbies for a?bilateral Transfemoral amputee. This patient is an active, 31 years old, BBQ's, takes care of his horses, Mother and 4 children, fishes the waters of South Padre. If you remember, this is the same patient that had 95% of his body burned in a house fire, with skin grafts. Bilateral transhumeral prostheses are made, now he wants to move onto the legs. Check sockets are fit, aligned and ready to proceed.
All information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance.
