Another response:Question to exper.amputees
Text:
I have been an a/k for about 45 yrs now and also started making my own flex
sockets for the last ten yrs (so i now have more comfort) i use the college
park foot now, and probably the only real big difference now is i get a
softer heel strike but balance has never seem to change with any foot i wear.
however the alienment if not matched perfectly does effect the balance an
requires about an hour (for me)to get used to. this duplication of alienment
is required in the socket and the foot and is diffulcult to match each time
although i have been having much success in achieving this for myself.
hope this is of some help to you.
