Additional responses to prosthetic foot question:
My first choice on a foot would be the Ceterus from Ossur. It has a nice shock rotator built into it. However, I'm not sure how well that would help his downhill lay up. If ankle movement is a big concern. Maybe check out Freedom Innovations, they have an adjustable heel height foot. Then you can attach whichever rotator you choose to it. That way he can adjust it when necessary.
Regardless, I just wanted to recommend not using the Delta twist, unless you feel comfortable with it. At my office we tried the delta twist on several different patients and had bad results. So we started using the TT Pro from Endolite. Excellent Results!!!
Hello, The perfect stride from bio quest has to be the best foot biomechanically on market. I had an opportunity to see this foot in action as well as learn about the engineering specs. I was very impressed with this foot and have used it on several patients. The foot is the most expenses on the market but coded adequately for good reimbursement. The foot is the only one that mimics anatomical what the foot ankle do during the gait cycle which can yield very low energy expenditure. Check it out.
I would go with the Pathfinder foot. It's what I wear, and I find it more natural than the others.
I'd use Ceterus feet My golfers love them. If cosmetics is a issue I use
The Ossur Axia with the Fillauer shock rotation device.
I have had much success with College Park Venture Feet
for active golfers. all motions at the ankle are
easily adjustable using bumpers and the foot is
actually quite low profile. It relies more on
mimicking ankle motion and timing for energy
efficiency rather than energy storage but it does
still have a composite toe lever. I've supplied at
least 15 over the years and have only seen one fellow
who required regular maintenance of the bumpers.
The College Park Venture with the twist is a great option for this guy.
I just read your message and would like to join in on the responses. I
have had great luck with the Talux foot from Ossur for along with some
built in torsion due to the design of the foot. It has proved to be
durable for my patients with minimal maintenance issues. (3 plus year
wearers) The only negative is that it is on the heavier side but for a
225 lbs individual that should not be a concern.
