Dear List members
Please enlighten me with your expertise about the below mentioned problems:
An A.K amputee, (40 years, male) is using an Above knee prosthesis with IC
socket & suction suspension.
Despite making the socket a little bit loose, the problem arises again afte=

a few days.
Swelling and redness is seen at the distal end in the ring shape. The
amputee uses the trial prosthesis for a few days and later the problem
arises
Kindly suggest the solutions and possible causes of the problem
Highly appreciate your response.
