Dear List,
I have a K3/K4 transtibial patient who will wear his everyday prosthesis into marsh and swamp water (normally only ankle deep water) while hunting and/or fishing. He is tired of footshells and spectra socks filling with water and requiring draining and drying. Do any of you have a preferred foot with a solid design (no footshell) that you have found to be durable and demonstrate good dynamics on un-even ground? It is possible I will incorporate a P3 pump proximal to the foot which will allow some torsion and shock absorption.
thanks,
Duane Nelson CP(c)
