Hello List,
Seeking recommendations for a lightweight mechanical knee set-up for 30
year wearer; Bilateral AK with Sock Fit and Hip Joints / Waist Belt.
My client cannot don liners, so we have no Locking Mechanism or Suction
Suspension, which eliminates any “weighty” knee….such as 3R80 or any
hydraulic.
My client is currently wearing a Bock 3R49 “Safety” knee on one side and
3R41 Manual Locking on the other.
Thanks for any advice you can provide.
