I have a trans-tibial patient who is an avid skier. In the winter he works on the ski patrol at a local mountain and he is training to compete in the Paralympics in 2014. he skis between 100 & 120 days each winter. We have funding for a designated ski prosthesis and I am considering using the Freedom Slalom ski foot. Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with this foot they can share? I have some reservations in that there is no adjustabililty, no trial period and no returns. He is a demanding user and will be particular about the flexibility of the foot.
