I would like to reach out to the community to see how many practitionersthat still employ PTB socket design elements for their TT patients.  Have those design elements gone the way ofthe dinosaur, replaced by total surface weight bearing designs?    


TSWB does design appears ascendant, but I’d like to reach out to those that still approach a BK socket using a specific loading design approach. 

The only modern TT socket design that I can think of thatuses elements of specific loading is Coyote’s RCR orStabileflex socket design.  Has anyonehad much success with this design?
Best regards,Charles King, CP
