Hi Nadia,
I had missed your mail earlier. Very interesting to read views expressed
from various professionals.
To begin with,I am congenital BK amp. and have a wide practical experience
towards self usage and in developing a articulating prosthetic foot to
bring relief to the frictional forces exerted on the stump.
I remember in my single digit age, I was advised never use crape sole
shoes. then in teens it was also mentioned never purchase flat soles.then a
decade back I asked my CP why does the shoe sole of prosthetic foot gets
worn out rapidly only at certain points, being a patient there was no
satisfactory answer.
Lately way back around 1995 I personally started innovating with various
materials and designs and
with god's grace I reached my achievement towards my prosthetic foot that
mimics nearest to my natural ankle movements, hence over came corrective
surgery of stump which was earlier advised by various professionals here
and abroad as the only solution / remedy to improve my restricted mobility,
I referred to the principles of Prof. Mark Pitkin articles in POI Journals.
In a nutshell try to maintain the same contours of the natural feet also
same ankle movements
to attain ultimate efficiency and comfort.
Kind Regards
