I have a 4 year old boy as a client who's in need of a new prosthesis and am
wondering about pediatric knee joint experiences from some of the prosthetists.
This boy is 4 years old with a congenital knee disarticulation and has been
wearing Seattle Child's Play foot and MIND (SLS) four-bar knee. He weighs
only 30 lbs and is short for his age. He's in good health otherwise.
Recently he has been falling quite a bit despite that the knee and foot are
in good working order.
He will get new socket soon and want to check out my component options.
Thanks for your responses.
