Recently I have been noticing a lot of post by Licensed or Certified people
working for some of the brace and prosthetic companies. (i.e., Generation II
and Flotech) What I am try to find out is are these individuals product reps
or in patient care. One resent post that puzzled me was:

Ladies and Gentlemen

I have an elderly patient with a failed TKA that we need to put into a Post
-op design with a hinge that will lock automatically in extension and can be
released by the patient for sitting. If you have any experience with this
type of product please forward your response and I will post the results.
Thank you in advance.

For a Licensed Orthotist this question would seem easily solved by a custom
knee with bail or Kafo with bail. However this Orthotist apparently is
unfamiliar with a brace that locks in extension and can be released by the
patient.
