Summary of G-Knee Experiences

Summary of G-Knee Experiences

Alan Ross, CPO

Two responses were received to my request for experiences with the Becker
G-Knee:

#1 I have used the G knee (extension assist) on several people - it works
well but the pneumatic units lose their seal and need replacing and their isn't
a warranty - or there wasn't a while back - hopefully they worked on that.

#2 We have three patients currently using the G knee. First is a 65 y/o
male, 6' 4 post stroke walks well. The second is a 49 y/o female with MS. The
third is a 50 y/o male with partial paralysis 2nd to MVA. All use
consistently daily the first two more than 1 year, the third is about 4 months.
Allignment is critical.

Thank you for the responses.
