I have a very active/ athletic ak patient: 6'4, 230#, long residual limb who wants to resume sporting activities. He would like to know what other active ak amputees use for socket suspension: full suction vs gel liners. Are many practitioners using vacuum suspension for ak's? He is currently in full suction system, but has continual problems with volume changes through out the day. He doesn't loose suction, but becomes more uncomfortable towards the end of the day because he drops in deeper in the socket. I appreciate any thoughts, suggestions etc..
