Text:
A patient of mine has requested a below knee shower/swim prosthesis. I have
tried so many designs and keep returning back to my successful exoskeletal
design with waterproofed Safe II foot. I had tried one of the ankles which
enabled the patient to activate a pin resulting in plantarflexing their foot
(for swimming). I believe their was a European manufacture that also
developed one, never tried it.
Has anyone had success with any of the more recent options. Thanks in advance.
