Dear Colleagues,
Our practise has a request to fit bi-lateral (AK/BK) stubbies to a new client. If anyone has experience fitting stubbies, we would welcome your advice. The primary advice required is as follows:-
1) Radius of rocker sole on the stubbies
2) Ratio between rocker length and standing height
3) Alignment considerations
4) Knowledge of commercially produced components and purchase avenues
