Aqualimbs

Hello,

I need some help. Endolite is telling me they are redesigning their Aqualimb
and will be backordered until August. Obviously, my amputee wants to open
his pool in May. What are the alternatives besides the original hollow
exoskeletal prosthesis with Kingsley's foot? A side note; he is insisting on
having a shuttlelock in this water prosthesis.

I also need some help. How is everyone treating their knee disarticulations?
 My amputee insists on replicating knee center for the many activities
related to his boats and cars. Kneeling equally without thigh length
discrepancy is paramount. He came to me with a leather thigh socket and
massive external knee joints. I put him Hosmer's KD exo. knee shin with
Dupaco hydraulic unit to afford him swing control. It worked for three
months until he began a repetitive cycle of blowing out the Dupaco every
three months or so. He is most unhappy with the technology. Your problem
solving thoughts will be shared on both questions.

Thanks,

Bill Schumann, CPO
