title: Use of two torque absorbers in a trans-femoral prosthesis of an amputee golfer.
abstract: This single case study reports the successful trial of the use of 2 torque absorbers in a single trans-femoral prosthesis. The adapted prosthesis enabled a greater degree of rotation on a vertical axis which can be a significant advantage to amputee golfers.
