Hello All,

I have a 42 y.o. new transtibial amputee ready for his first
prosthesis. He's likely to be a K2 ambulator. He's been impressively
ambulatory/independent even working part time despite a 3 year battle
with a gigantic ulcer on his foot (the size of half a softball),
multiple failed surgeries with grafts, and continuous wound vac
treatments. He has a great attitude and is looking forward to being
able to get back home and is doing very well in rehab.with single leg
standing, etc.

What feet and other heavy duty components, pylon kits, etc. would you
recommend for him?

I am trying to balance the weight and function of components with price
as he is on managed care (Medicaid HMO) and I don't want to tether him
to an anvil as he has longstanding cardiac and pulmonary problems along
with his diabetes and obesity.

Thank you very much.
