Colleagues
I have a 65 yr. old long standing Knee Disartic., as follows:
-has worn a Total Knee 2100 very successfully for as long as it has been
on the market (previously the model 2000).
- level 2-3 community ambulator (almost exclusively single, 'normal,'
speed), until first and ONLY fall ten months ago; the typical scenario
of incomplete stepping in a confined area (kitchen).
-despite solid PT his insurmountable fear has him stuck as a very
tentative calculating slow walker.

I would like to put him in a microprocessor knee ONLY for the purpose
knee stability, in the hope of regaining his trust in a knee to return
him to his previous confident relaxed gait. I think I have narrowed my
search two the Endolite Orion or the C-leg. Any experienced input would
be greatly appreciated. I will share your suggestions with the LIST.
Thank you.

Mike Shower, CPO
