Hello everyone,
I have a unique case and am just looking for any tips that anyone may have.
For anyone with experience with upper extremity prosthetics, what materials and/or techniques have you found helpful for utilizing touch pads. I know touch pads and sweat are not a great combination so I am interested if anyone had used certain flexible materials for inner sockets that worked well. Also I am interested on any techniques or materials to keep sweat/perspiration to minimum while hands are contained in a socket all day. Thank you for your time and any helpful advice you may have!
