Hi this is John Russell
I was a big user of Flex Foot for many years, but I decided that I would
let my patients try the Cirrus Foot even when it was more expensive than
the Flex Foot.
Out of more than 15, all like it, and feel thats is improvement over the
Flex Foot.
The heel is better in allowing quick plantarflexion
M/L is smoother and has a wider range
Less tech time, and CP time to get ready, and easier to adjust overall
Had to add a 0.04 formed ploypro over instep of internal foot to cut out
squeks
Major problem as I see it don’t make a foot under 25cm.!! This is the
only reason that I have used a Flex Foot lately
Patients love it over a Flex Foot.
In O&P news, the cyclist in the ParaO article uses the Cirrus Foot, of
course I’m the CP that made the cycling leg. College Park gave Dory a
foot to try free, but didn’t walk smooth enough.
Thats all, R-John
