Dear List
I am looking for a nice cosmetic result for, specifically, an Ossur
Elation foot on a trans-tibial prosthesis.
Problems encountered:
1. use plastazote foam for leg/softer foam at ankle - unasthetic
transition between the 2 foams
2. entirely soft cosmetic foam - shape becomes distorted once a cover is
pulled over.
3. off-the-shelf silicone cover or PVC cover - creases at ankle.
What are people's opinion on this?
Best
