Dear members,
I like to hear your ideas about the choice of a prosthetic knee for a
TF-amputee. We try to make a 'decision-tree'. Some decisions are in our
opinion quit clear (locked/not-locked). But what we like to know is, for
example, why do you choose a Teh Lin knee and not a Total Knee?
We are very interested in functional and technical aspects. Not
financial aspects.
In our opinion it is not always clear why an amputee get exactly that
kind of prosthetic knee.
Let me hear your choices.
Thanks and looking forward for your replies.
