Hello,
I am looking for some suggestions. I have an older patient who is a long AK and is currently wearing a waist belt for suspension. He would really like to try something more comfortable. The difficulty is that he is also an above elbow amputee. He tried wearing an AE prosthesis and hated it, so that is out. He has good strength in his hand, is on his feet most of the day, and is in good shape. Does anyone have any suggestions for socket suspension?
Thank you for the help,
Yvette Pratt CP
