Dear List,
I am looking to see what ideas you have for a long (congenital) transtibial amputee. The young guy is 3 years old and just learning to swim. I am trying to suspend a swim fin to his residual limb, I am also looking into molding foam or proflex into a fin. What have you tried that has worked well. This will be pro bono so creative low cost ideas will be the most helpful. Thank you for your replies. I will post responses.
