Dear Listserv,
I am curious if anyone has seen or has been involved with a remote fitting
of a transradial socket that resembles the one in this video...
<URL Redacted> .
The person who is remote in this video is not a clinician. He is a
mechanical engineer.
Initially I see significant concerns with this socket design regarding
vascular constraints and window edema. With the absence of a conventional
harness or epicondyle regional control (used in self suspending sockets), I
fear the high circumferential forces applied by the adjustable socket,
required to maintain suspension, will be so significant that the prosthesis
will cause harm. Personally I would like to know if a study has been
performed under the supervision of an IRB committee and if so I would like
to see the results.
Do you see any concerns with this process or socket design?
best regards
