Carter's Leg Step 2 ~ Socket Fitting

Several days after the casting we go back to Next Step O&P for a socket fitting. Basically they made a test socket to try out on Carter. We put on his liner and his sock then the test socket. Scott is able to see if they need to make adjusments and if there are any hot spots on Carters leg. If there were adjusments to be made they would make a 2nd test socket but this one was just darn perfect. The test socket goes back to the fabricators and they make the finished product.

Here are some pictures of the Test Socket fitting.
