Hello all,
Are there any liner-donning aids or techniques for a patient that lacks
bimanual upper extremity capability? My patient is an adult male with a
history of left side AK and recently, became a right side BKA. He also has
a history of left side upper extremity paralysis from a CVA six years ago.
His left side hip strength and range of motion are within functional
limits. He lives in a care facility, but assistance with donning and
doffing is an unknown quantity. I could use some advice regarding
suspension systems that might work, at least for his right BK so that he
can transfer independently. Thanks.
Martin Bailey, CPO
