Heavy AK Patient

Brett Saunders

Hello All,

A new 390 pound AK patient contacted me for prosthetic care. His residual
limb is mid length for his height. I expect him to not be very active but
to walk at a variable cadence and transverse low level barriers.

I would like to hear suggestions others have on component selection (knees,
feet, endo components) and other practitioner’s experience with this type of
patient.

Thanks,

Brett R Saunders, CPO
