Hello All,

 

I would like your opinions on a manually locking prosthetic knee for a new
K-1, possibly K-2 transfemoral amputee. I am aware of the cable actuated
versions of this type of knee. It seems that in recent years I've also seen
a couple of knees that can be easily switched from manually locking to free
swing. Some of these knees may also have had some flexion/extension
adjustment available.

 

If you have knowledge of some of these knees, please share your experiences.

 

Thanks,
