The overwhelming majority uses the Aulie Knee, there are a variety of
waterproof feet and suspension systems. The summaries are below.
Thanks all.

1. The Aulie knee is the standard

2. How about the Aulie knee and I like using the Seattle Sach or
Flexible feet because they are pretty much impervious to water and
cheap enough to replace is they wear out. Must use an aqua sock on
the foot to prevent slipping. I use them also for shower legs.
All the best,


3. C> A c-leg does not make a good sea-leg.

I am a BK amputee who has followed the C-Leg with some interest. Last
I heard,
the C-Leg is touted due to its being controlled by a microprocessor.
Surely
your patient does not swim with her computer? Does she take her cell
phone
into the Atlantic?

4. hi, you can suggest her a ottobock 3K9 which also can be used
while swimming
