Hello List,
I have a 98 lb. fairly short trans-tibial amputee with a size 22 cm foot. Fairly active, K3-4 potential, in her late 30's. I would like to fit her with an elevated vacuum system. Cosmetics is a concern. I am looking at OttoBock's Triton Harmony, because of it's slender size foot and integrated shock and torque, but am concerned she will not be heavy enough to to compress the vacuum unit. Ossur's Unity is out due to bulk around the ankle. Limblogic and Smartpuck may be to bulky to finish distally and will require charging hole in the skin. Any thoughts on Triton Harmony? Other ideas? As always, your input is much appreciated
