Hello collegues,
We have a new below the knee leg amputee who weighs in at about 450 pounds. We'd like to do endoskeletal and I'd like some input on componentry. We'll probably use a pin locking mechanism and with his weight, probably a double lamination. But any suggestions on endo components and feet? Thanks for your suggestions. I'd guess his activity level is fairly low, probably nothing more than walking.
