Hello.
I am working with one of  my  Above knee  prosthetic patient, Patient  has RT
above knee amputation with long Residual limb, Presently patient is
using Temporary  Prosthesis. And now I am planning for his permanent 
prosthesis, Patient cant, use his Rt Hand due to paralysis, he can walk with 
Prosthesis, but he had hard time donning Gel Liner, in his temporary prosthesis
we try  Coyote  locking suspension and then KISS locking suspension. but he
don’t like Gel liner and can’t use that suspension , what  will  be the best
option  for suspension for him  keeping in mind that he  can’t use his Rt Hand?
Thanks in advance for your Suggestion,
Zia
Prosthetist.
Troy.
