Hello to all. Wondering what peoples experience has been with
transfemoral amputee's once they begin more intensive running
activities. Is there a tendency to require a reduction in the height of
the medial brim wall to prevent impacting the inferior pubic ramus? We
have a young (40) female amputee who is keen to increase her activity
but has had a history of developing bursa along the inferior ramus when
she does so. She currently has a flexible brim, adequate adductor
longus relief and uses a seal-in liner. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
Thanks for your help
