To All:
We are working with a 290lb female TT amputee. The preparatory prosthesis
will be mainly for standing, transfers, and potentially beginning gait
training in parallel bars or walker. Can anyone recommend a SACH foot (¾”
heel) that will handle this weight and activity level? Kingsley has what
they call a “K20 Sturdy” which they claim will be more than strong enough
but we were wondering if there are any others you may be familiar with?
Summary to be posted.
Thanks,
Eric Schwelke, C.P.O.
