I have a 53 yo, 5'4, 225lb female patient with a long
AK amputation. I would like to use a
4-bar/polycentric knee to accommodate her long
residual limb, preferably hydraulic or pneumatic. Any
ideas on a knee appropriate for her body weight, but
as lightweight as possible?
She has good strength and stability, moderate activity
level.
Thank you for assistance.
Janette Morris, CP
