Hi all,
I have two old patients who use exoskeletal AK systems and both want to do away with the Mauch units because they want the leg to swing faster without resistance.  Since I can no longer find a good friction exo setup, I am dealing with what they have.  Any suggestions on knee units?  If I replace the Mauch, I'd need something that would act as an extension stop as well. 
Thanks
