Polycentric knee shortening

Mitchell Farrar

Hi all,

I was hoping some of you might have some thoughts or figures on the amount
of shank shortening or additional ground clearance offered by different
designs of polycentric knee joints, which would be suitable to a K3/K4
transfemoral amputee less than 100kg. I have been looking into:

Ossur Cheetah knee

Medi Paso knee

Medi OH5

Medi OH7

Ottobock 3R55

If there are any other alternative suggestions out there, I’d be most
appreciative to hear them.

Regards

Mitch Farrar
