Hello,
I have a young active BK patient (post-traumatic, 1 year ago) that is in a
passive suction system. Currently he is at a 2-3ply fit.
He reports only being able to wear his prosthesis for 1-2hr at a time
before needing to take it off for a short time. He states the problem is a
feeling of tightness and numbness (like when you fall asleep on your arm).
What are your thoughts that could be causing this issue?
Thank you,
