I have a transtibial patient who would prefer pin and lock suspension but
she has arthritic hands and can't manage reaching down to depress the
button while pushing the leg off. Her easiest doffing method is to push
down on the brim edge. Is there a lock system with a proximally mounted
unlock actuator, such as with a release cable similar to the what is used
to unlock a prosthetic knee?
