I hope that anyone could be able to point me in the right direction.
I am currently writing a Medico legal for a patient with a very short trans
femoral amputation with minimal muscle strength in his hip.
He used to be a very active individual and was studying to become a
helicopter pilot before his accident. I am sure that the power knee would
be the best device for him to replace the lost muscle function, which would
be able for him to continue his helicopter pilot training?
Do you think this decision is the correct one?
Would you suggest anything else?
What would be the best foot to work with the knee?
Kind Regards
