pros foot adjustable heel height
Text:
Dear colleagues:
I am interested in recommendations of a prosthetic foot for a fifty year old
female with a trans-tibial amputation. She would like a foot with a
patient-adjustable heel height; however, her mechanical aptitude is
somewhat limited. (Weight is approximately 125#.) She is a community
ambulator and would benefit from multiaxial dynamic elastic response
features. Cosmesis is also of some concern to her.
She has used an Endolite multiaxial foot/ankle in the past which was
generally successful, although rather stiff.
Your input and experiences are appreciated.
