Good Morning Listserv -
Given the likely proprietary nature of Winter's fin fabrication in Dolphin
Tale, I would like to query the members herein of any successful
experience they may have had in providing a swimfin/prosthetic for a
KDA amputee who also presents with an short, flail, ipsilateral THA. He
plans to use a paddle board with his sound arm and translate some
affiliate kick power through his amputated KD side with something.
He is a very motivated individual and I would like to help him satisfy
his goal of getting back in the pool with some means of self-propelled
mobility. Thanks in advance.
