Dear List Members:
I have a mid-twenties female bilateral BK amputee who has approached me with an interest in getting running legs. She explained that she wants to run a mini-marathon. She is healthy, fit, and active. She currently wears locking pin sockets with Variflex feet. Any suggestions for foot selection and for changing or keeping the same suspension system would be greatly appreciated. Also, ?? Medicare reimbursement issues??
Thanks!
