PTB Height Adjustment/New Shoes

This patient was seen in our office for adjustment to his left PTB endoskeletal below the knee prosthesis. What was done today was to realign and correct the height on his current prosthesis. The patient has switched shoes and has gone to a shoe that does not incorporate an AFO on the right side. This has left him 1/2 inch tall on the prosthetic side and the anterior tilt of the ptton are inappropriate in the new shoes. Both of these items were adjusted on the patient today. He reported after these adjustments that he was comfortable on the limb and was able to ambulate comfortably on the limb. Everything else is appropriate at this time. The patient is currently wearing 4 ply of sock. He will be followed through our office on an as needed basis and through the VA clinic.
