Dear List
I have an active transfemoral amputee who would like to start running. He
has done some research on his own through other amputees who seem to
either prefer the Otto Bock 3R95 paired with the 1E90 Sprinter foot or the Total
Knee 2000 paired with the Flex-run. They seem to be loyal in their
pairings. I am just seeking input from practitioners who have successfully fit a
transfemoral with a running leg and what combination you have found
successful including suspension techniques. I'll try and put together any and
all responses I get and share.
Thanks
