Hello,
I am trying to identify a prosthetic foot for a polio patient who uses a
carbon fiber foot attached to her KAFO. The KAFO is over 20 years old so
there is a possibility the foot is no longer made. The biggest difficulty
is finding a foot where the strut is vertical (or close to vertical) and
where the strut is in-line with the heel lever. I'd like to avoid having
to shift the heel lever on a new foot if possible, just in case it does not
work.
Thank you,
Laduan Smedley, CPO
