Hello esteemed colleagues,
Does anyone have a suggestion for a very low profile hydraulic knee for a pffd / knee disartic? The end of the socket is about 1 1/2 inches beyond the true knee center, so we are trying to get the knee as close as possible to the end of the socket. We've tried the Otto Bock 3R46 with their KD connector and it is close but the knee does not bend very far enough to kneel easily as she is used to this much ROM. Her previous knee is the DAW graphlite and it is smooth as silk, but we are trying to get closer than it allows. We are considering a Total knee hydraulic as well. Thank you for your suggestions.
