Pistoning from BK socket

Mitchell Hirsch

I would like any suggestions about a 48 yr old male. below knee amputee
active individual who is now working with an esp 6mm liner pin system with a bioquest foot. I am using a TSB socket. Either the weight of the foot componentry is causing too much pistoning and the elastic aspect of the liner is not working very well.
I have tried an auxillary suspension sleeve by oww. It works better but doesnt eliminate the pistoning. Any other solutions would be great.
 
I have thought of going to vacuum or suction. Any opinon would be great
 

Thanks
