Hi all - I know we have just started to get some nice weather going here Canada, but I have a client looking forward to some winter sports when the weather turns cold again.
He has fairly short bilateral TT amputations and has asked about X country skiing. I am not an avid skier, but I have been out on the trails before. Seems like there is lots of ankle motion in the action of kicking the skies. Are there any feet or modifications that we can set up for this activity (if he can afford a separate setup for it) And if they have to be the same feet he is walking on everyday what would that setup look like.
Thanks for any help you can offer
