Hi all
I am in need of a mechanical knee that can be locked in several degree
increments. I have never heard of one. Mauch/Catech can be locked, but
this is not the right knee for my patient. I need something that can
extend all it wants to, but will not flex, unless released from hand,
and has to do it around sitting position, 90 degrees or so.
He is true knee disartic, I am also considering StepLocks as
alternative, but if there is a knee that does the job - amen.
Thank you
