Prosthetic components for overweight amputee

Randy McFarland

Hello List Members:
We have a 40 year old male client who sustained a TF amputation about 5
years ago. He has gained weight and is up to 440 lbs., clearly
exceeding the specs on his prosthetic components.

I am not aware of TF prosthetic components that approach this weight
range. Has anyone been faced with this situation? Have you used any
option other than refusal to provide service? I will post responses. If
you don’t want your name reposted to the list, put it in parentheses.

Thanks,
Randy McFarland, CPO
