Hello List,
I have a patient who is learning to utilize a hip disarticulation prosthesis at home and her primary difficulty is self-donning. We are currently utilizing 2 Dacron and Velcro straps with a chafe. Does anyone have any closure systems they have used and found to be more effective for hips or hemis? I have seen a few designs and would like to hear the positives and negatives from experience. Thanks!

John Boldt, C.P.O.
