Dear members of the List Serve,
I have a client who wishes to ice skate (play ice hockey) and thought I
would send out a note to the masses as I have not had luck finding a
specific knee or alignment that works best.
History: he currently uses a MPK for day to day activities but has
found that the knee does not work well for ice hockey. I have looked at
the Bartlett and the XT9 as options. He is not an expert skater but
his goal is to play ice hockey and eventually be a goalie. He has
excellent muscle strength and no other limitations (maybe just his
prosthetistJ)
Any input or experiences would be appreciated.
