Hello;

I have a 350 lb. active patient who recently had a Freedom foot fail on him so we tried to get him another foot that was rated to 500 lbs.? However, we only have a build ht of 4 approximately and Freedom (and anyone else we can think of) cannot accomodate this build ht.? Evidently we want a dynamic foot; not a SACH.? Anyone have any ideas?
