Dear List,
We have a pt that is a BK, weighs 275 and is going up, size 28, and K3. We
have only 4 inches for a foot. We need a low profile foot, but the pt is
not always active enough to get a LP carbon foot to store energy and return
it. We have looked at several LP K3 feet, but would like to see what
others are using for this population. We have considered putting him in a
K2 foot, but he is at or above the weight limit for most of them. We
understand that most feet have a 275 lb limit and he weighs 275 lbs,
however his weight is steadily increasing and we would like to have a foot
that he will not out weigh quickly.
Please help.
