I have been requested by a physician to provide a prosthesis for a patient
to do aqua therapy where she will be using a treadmill in the water.
I wanted to see if anyone had suggestions on building this type of
prosthesis and/or a general swim/shower/water prostheses in general.
This patient has a transtibial amputation, but I have had requests by
transfemoral amputees as well for water prosthesis, so any suggestions on
components (feet, knees, pylons, covers etc) that you have successfully used
with a patient would be beneficial.
Thanks,
DeAnna
