I have a client coming in for his once-every-ten-years fitting of a
new transtibial prosthesis. He's a beefy guy and drives a cement
truck so he's hard on everything. He's also a bit unusual in that he
fabricates his own sidejoints and lacer and stubbornly insists upon
exoskeletal construction. He has requested a different foot on the
new prosthesis. The old foot is a Flex-Walk and he does not like the
feel of it.
His top priority for the new foot is maximum durability. What foot
would you describe as the most durable foot you have used? I will
post responses.
