Dear List,
Thanks for your responses to my surfing knee inquiry! Here they are:
1)Have you seen Jeff Huber's water leg? For BKs but soon to be for AKs.
His web page is: < <URL Redacted>>
2) Bartlett tendon knee
3) Check out the Bartlett tendon knee.
4) Saskatchewan surfing huh?!
5) Surfing in Saskatchewan???Do tell.
XT9 will give too much resistance in flexion, Aulie may provide enough adjustment???have not used either for that sport. I'm guessing you'll have as many issues with the full squat-to crouch-to stand as you will with bounce/resistance in standing and finding balance w support. If this a new venture for the Pt, maybe just try an old stance-control single axis tiny unit, set w high sensitivity, make the prosthesis shorter, fab so it will go into as much flexion as possible.
6) Bartlett Tendon Universal Knee system
Sometimes we do fun stuff,
