How to use it
Set-up, use and care
- 1
Don the test socket with the suspension you plan to use.

Stand and walk on the parallel bars while we watch the alignment.
- 3
Report any rotation or pistoning of the limb inside the socket.
- 4
Return for the definitive socket once alignment is confirmed.
Description
Above-knee fit depends on how the ischial seat and suspension behave under weight. The clear test socket lets us see where the limb is loading and adjust the alignment of the knee before the final socket is made.
Good to know
