Thanks to all who sent info about locking knees. Unfortunately the Otto
Bock knees do not have adjustable friction and are constructed in such a
way that if the lock handle slips the knee will lock while the patient is
ambulating, potentially causing a fall. I will check out the Endolite
knee, but feel I might have reimbursement problems. Anyway, it was great
to have your input.
Thanks!
