Thanks to you all for the feedback for my initial query about the gent
with the chronic wound... there were some quite strong opinions that
came through too! So thanks for that.

I thought I'd forward on some articles that were sent to me, which I
have found to be extremely useful.

 <<game - 2012 - life or limb.pdf>> <<attinger and brown - 2012 -
amputation and ambulation.pdf>> <<Fiorito_2012_A tale of two soles
Sociamechanical and biomechanical considerations in limb salvage and
amputation .pdf>>

Also a list of related articles here:

Thanks again for all your feedback and healthy discussion.

Kind regards,
