Foot for 79 lb. lady
Text:
Hello,
I am looking for a very lightweight foot for a BKA, size 23, K level 1, 65
year old female weighing 79 lbs. Most of the manufacturers have said they do
not recommend their production feet due to her low body weght. Using a light
foot is important due to a hip condition causing pain when lifting the
prosthesis through swing phase.
I am hoping to avoid ordering a custom flexfoot or springlite due to problems
with coverage for a low K-level candidate. Any experience with a similar
situation or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Eddie White, CP
