Much has been written about new socket and liner technologies over the past 30 years. The era of PTB (for below knee amputees) and Quadrilateral (for above knee amputees) sockets have long come to an end. Thank goodness for that! Or maybe not ……. Still amputees wear old -style socket designs attached to prosthetic componentry that is bionic!
But what about the constant reminders by amputees who experience regular skin breakdown, bruising, swelling volume and body weight changes, causing that original fit not to be so pleasant. Frequent visits to the prosthetist, trying something new (once again) is no longer convenient plus there is no guarantee that things will improve, short or long term!
