Hello,
I want to get my son, who is nearly 4, a Flex Walk foot.
his doctor & prosthetist both agree that it would benefit
him (KD with short femur). He wears the Total Knee (which
is brilliant) and is VERY active but his prosthetist has
no experience of fitting a child with the Flex Foot.
Questions : Should he use the split toe or not ?
What activity level would be best ?
I would love to hear from anyone who has fitted young children,
we are in the UK so there is hardly any data.
Thank you very much.
