Hi folks, Ive recently traded up/down to a new knee, of a brand that im still not sure of.
I formerly had a 3R92 Otto Bock (friction knee) but it got a little "loose" in the actual hinge/sleeve/ bearing joint, so it was replaced with a temp 3R106.
The first 3R92 was great for getting up and down in the shed, but the second temp 3R106 was deffinately NOT designed for kneeling (I have to kneel on the concrete to set up sash clamps and the like).
The new knee seems to be a bit of a dud, but it has good kneeling potential as it has 2 flat rails that accomodate a home made pad I made so I wont damage the knee when I do have to kneel.
Im just wondering if anyone else here has made any interesting adaptions to or for their prosthetics, arms, legs or even wheelchairs?
Is there a good knee out there I should be asking my prosthesist to speciffically look into?
If I can, id prefer to get one that IS designed for the right job, but they either dont know or just dont care much about it.
