I have a patient who wants to work for the post office. He has to be able
to squat and pick up a 70 pound bag off the floor. I need to provide him
with an ankle unit (patient is bilateral BK) that will go into max dorsi and
come back in an upright position for normal gait. Is there such an ankle ??

 

Obviously with a conventional stationary ankle, even one of the many energy
storing feet, in a squat position he would have his heels 4-6 off the
ground and would be very unstable.

 

Thanks,

 

Andrew
