Good afternoon list!
For paeds we have a choice of: TruPer, Child's Play, Kingslea, and Otto
Bock feet, right?. Any others I may be missing? I have an 8 year old boy,
weighs about 90-100lbs, size 20 foot and I have him wearing a Child's Play
foot. He has a Chopart level amputation and so must wear a lift in his other
shoe. He's a typical kid- plays soccer, basketball, rides his bike, runs and
runs and runs! Are there any other choices of feet that might be more
dynamic and durable than the Child's Play? We used to use the Chopart
Springlite version from O.B. but he kept breaking them- either off the
socket or cracking the forefoot. So far with the Child's Play it's only
taken him seven months to break the bolt. At least the foot is in tact. Just
wondering what you thought?
Thanks for your help!
