List,
I am currently working with a high functioning 29 yr old patient with a hip-disarticulation. We have worked with both the Littig strut and the Otto Bock 7E7 joints. During a brainstorming session with the patient, we question the possibility of using a S unit ( rotated 180 degrees) as the hip joint. Has anyone experimented with this? If so, how do I interface the hydraulic unit to the to the socket? The patient does function well with the two aforementioned hip joints but we hope to achieve even better.
Thank you in advance,
Travis Carlson, CPO
