Hi all,
I was hoping some of you might have some thoughts or figures on the amount
of shank shortening or additional ground clearance offered by different
designs of polycentric knee joints, which would be suitable to a K3/K4
transfemoral amputee less than 100kg. I have been looking into:
Ossur Cheetah knee
Medi Paso knee
Medi OH5
Medi OH7
Ottobock 3R55
If there are any other alternative suggestions out there, I'd be most
appreciative to hear them.
Regards
Mitch Farrar
