Hi all
I am looking for suggestions for a socket design plus harnessing . I have a 78 y/o female who has an RX for a BE I limb prosthesis. She is very motivated and appears to be a good candidate all except that her below elbow amputation lenght is only 2.5 inch's from elbow center and when she flexes her elbow the forearm disappears into the fold of the arm. Any  suggestions would be be helpful and I would be gladly respond with all suggestions.
 
Thank you
David Sulis CPO
