Responses to swim foot

Hi All,

Thanks to all for your assistance. I received 26 responses so far to my
inquiry, all helpful. Following is my original post and a few of the
responses that summarize.


I am looking for info on the foot that goes really far in planarflexion, I
think it is marketed as a pivoting watersports foot. I just can't put my
hands on the info. I have a client who is into kayaking and wants to be able
to completely planarflex his prosthetic foot as it would increase his options
on types of kayaks he can use. Any help would be appreciated.

You can check the GOMED catagolue that they've a plantarflexion adaptor
which is used in the swimming foot.

Hi, Orthoenterprises inc of NJ has the leisure activity anckle. I believe
that is what you are looking for it allows 70 degres of plantar
flexion. it can be made left or right, endo or exo design . Phone # is

Look into the Ortholite LA II Ankle marketed by New Generation Inc. Their
