Hi all, I am wondering what feet people like using for their older
clients with bilateral TransTibial amputations. The client in
question is a motivated 60 year old who was wearing a SureFlex before
loosing the second leg (both due to PVD). He was doing well with the
Sureflex, but I'm not sure it would be the best script for him now
that he needs two. The majority of his walking will be flat, level
ground with only the very occasional foray into lawns and hills and
such. He walks reasonably well now with two SACH feet(temporary until
we decide on prescription), but would like a little more than what
these feet offer.
Thanks for any insights,
