Bicycle Adaptation For Trans-Tibial

Joel Kempfer C.P.

Dear List,

I have a 73 y/o patient who has a short trans-tibial amputation and wishes
to return to being an avid bicyclist. He has tried various methods to keep
his prosthetic foot in contact with the pedal but fears falling while being
attached with clips or straps. His toe-out position (approx 7*) which also
makes for difficulty in using clips/straps.

Any creative solutions would be much appreciated!
