I have a high activity above knee amputee that tends to wear out he knee
unit within 2 years. He only weighs 57kg so body weight is not the
issue. He walk and hikes all the time and he does anything and
everything on his prosthesis. He also has a through shoulder amputation
on the same side.
My question is if anyone has a suggestion of a knee unit that is
suitable for high activity patient and is very very durable.
Thanks for your responses.
