Hi all,
I love the Freedom Runway for an adjustable heel dynamic foot, and usually use the allen screw version. But both the button version and the allen screw version are quite noisy for different reasons. The button version has the two screws on the bottom that sometimes come loose. They can be tightened and that sometimes quiets the foot. The allen screw version is actually loose where the metal slide passes through the carbon ankle block. When my patient walks it clunks and I cannot tighten anything to make the noise less noticible. Any suggestions? I find this foot to be otherwise excellent. Thanks for your help.
