I am interested if anyone has had any experience (positive or negative) with
using Otto Bock's Helix hip with a microprocessor knee other than the C-leg.
Of course, the manufacturer says this can not be done, and that the hip will
not function properly. I have heard 3rd hand accounts from others that there
has been good success with the use of the Helix with a Rheo, but I have not
been able to confirm this. Is there anyone that has worked with this first
hand? Thank you in advance for your responses!
