I have a K4 AK amputee that has been using the Mauch Knee for many years. He
really likes the hydraulic features. However, he is so hard on them that
they do not hold up well. The unit has to be repaired approximately every
nine months. I would like to fit him with something that can take the abuse
of the Nebraska farm life while at the same time satisfy his love for the
hydraulics.
Does anyone have a recommendation on a rugged knee unit that might be
comparable in feeling and function to the Mauch knee?
Thank you.
