I have a younger active patient who wanys to try elevated vacuum in hopes to improve suspension and propricecption of his prosthesis. He has a longer and large thigh, his MP knee does not allow for a mechanical vacuum pump so I was thinking that only an electronic pump would work for him. I would be appreciative of anyone who can share sucess or failures with AK elevated vacuum systems and liner selection.

Thanks, Chris Dang, CPO
