Title:
Becker E knee problem
Text:
I've been attempting to fit a patient with a Becker e-knee kafo and I can not
get it to function properly. The main problem is that the device will not
unlock when the client unloads the foot plate sensors as it is supposed to do.
It seems as though he needs to generate some additional volitional extension
moment to trigger the unlocking mechanism--something this gentleman (
post-polio with a flail limb) is unable to do.
If anyone has expertise with this issue, I'd very much appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Tim Newton C.O.
