Dear Colleagues,
several days ago i posted a question regarding a knee joint that permits
approx. 20 degrees knee flexion at heel strike to dampen GRF. Patient had
them bilateral on her KAFO.
thanks to great help from several colleagues, i now know the joint - it's
Becker 9002 series. i have ordered LR-9002 for the patient, it has
additional torsion mechanism lateral, softening the knee flexion feature,
patient deserves this.
i was, also, advised that OB has similar joint.
once again, thank you all for help,
