Hello List;
I have been asked to fabricate a high performance sports prosthesis for a female client, long left trans tibial (fibular hemimelia), age 20, height 5' 4, weight 113 lbs. She is a high jumper, and will be doing some other occasional activities such as basketball. Jumping and short sprinting is the main function for this prosthesis. Distal socket to floor clearance is 6.
My question to you is: What prosthetic foot would you recommend in this case? Indications / contraindications?
I have been considering using the Flex-Sprint III 'B' Mold, or the Springlite Sprinter foot. I am interested in performance characteristics, socket / foot clearance, and adaptability from track to gymnasium floor, etc. Other feet recommendations would be welcome.
Thank you in advance, and I will post the responses when received.
