Dear K.Bowler,
I was glad to read your mail, however it does
worry me the state of risk and damage to your
body,while using these Prosthetic devices.
I do under stand they should be ultra light to reduce
physical energy desipated.I hope the insurance
companies should stay away from these device and
proper testing standard be utilized with written
break weight mentioned on the device itself.
Please seek a technical advice from the leading
manufacturers for custom made devices for better
reliablty,and confidence building.

People
I am a B/K amputee on the left leg. I have about 8 inches left. I weight

about 225 pounds and am 6' 2 tall.

In the past 20 years I have broken over 9 ankles and 6 carbid ankle
bolts.
I love to hunt and hike in the western deserts. Thus allot of stress is
placed on the joints.

I am willing to test different (new) setups for the ankles.

Legs have to be very light weight and not put a strain on my hip or
back.

I now reside in Arizona (Southeast part Sierra Vista) I am willing to
travel within the state for fittings or have them mailed to me here.

MY email address is <Email Address Redacted> if you want to get in touch with me

fast.

Sincerly
