title: An assistive device designed to convey independent donning of a shuttle lock trans-tibial prosthesis for a multiple limb amputee.
abstract: This contribution describes a simple device designed to convey independent donning of a shuttle lock trans-tibial prosthesis for a multiple limb amputee. The device is made of a post with a shuttle lock mechanism at one end and a plate covered by rubber at the other end. This device enables correct positioning of the silicone liner and independent attachment to the prosthesis.
