Re: 340# transfemoral
Text:
Am currently working with a 37yo male left transfemoral amputee. He is 340#, 6'2. He is diabetic. He is obese but very strong. Able to amb without prosthesis using crutches.
Need suggestions re most applicable hardware. What knees? feet? might sustain this body weight for a K2 type level of function. He anticipates wieght loss down to 300# but I won't plan for that. Residuum length can accomodate most systems. Funding is a problem but could be resolved.
Will summarize and post responses.
Thanks in advance
