Dear List
I am looking for information on the new Flexfoot called centerus. I have a young active Knee disarticulation amputee who is interested in trying it. He has used a Re-Flex VSP for the last 7 years, but has broken the side spring a couple of times whilst skydiving! He is now interested in trying the ceterus foot for three reasons: 1) it can be used underwater, so he can go scuba diving with it, 2)it appears to be lighter weight than the Pathfinder foot and 3) it is more cosmetic than the Reflex VSP. Has anyone tried this foot? How does it compare to the Pathfinder or Reflex VSP regarding function at high activity and inpact levels? I have all the information available from Ossur and it looks impressive, but I would like a clinical view also. Many thanks,
Vicky Jarvis, CPO
