Leaders in the field of rehabilitation advocate the use of the Swing-Away Stump Support:

"I believe that the Gerber Chair Mate Swing-Away Stump Support is an essential device during the rehabilitation of the below-knee amputee. It provides optimal positioning, while providing comfortable support for the residual limb."

- Brenda Mummert, MSPT

Physical Therapists realize the importance of returning the patient to their highest level of functioning. Proper healing is a MUST for amputees needing to be fitted with a prothesis.
