I have a below the 60 year old K3 below the knee diabetic amputee, that
recently became a bilateral and is now ready to be fit. His older limb ( 6
plus years), which used a VSP Flexfoot is in need of replacement as well so
well be ordering two new feet
He has fair/good balance, weighs 170lbs, and has great residual limb length
and strength. .
I'm looking for suggestions.
I was thinking...Navigator by Endolite, but worry about the relative motion
of the keel/ankle in the foot shell or OttoBocks Gresinger Plus, but welcome
all suggestions.
