I use an Ottobock Quickchange. Allows me to change from my Meridium foot to my rush foot for any water activities. Allows me to use my main socket & it's easy to take the extra foot to the beach in a small bag without carrying a cumbersome water leg. Best thing I ever did & has saved me a fortune having water legs made every few years.
Stainless steel screws and bolts bind more and are more prone to galling and getting stuck. Being in metal fabrication, we usually use wax on any stainless screws nuts or bolts.
Great Video.....what do you use to alleviate foot squeaks in the foot shell? I was at the beach a few weeks ago and cleaned the sand out but now have some squeaking going on. I also wondered if you ever wash the sock that goes over the foot. Thank you.
I just got a prototype prosthetic leg to use before I get my permanent one. are you supposed to feel pressure on the lower inside of your knee when you use it? sometimes I feel pressure & if I use it for a little bit it starts to feel like pain. also, I can feel it hyperextend my knee at times.
I just had my new prosthetic fitted and thank goodness there’s people posting this info!
If you have any questions i can try and answer them im about 3 yrs in and have learned alot

Thanks for these videos. I’m only 7 wks post amputation but want to know what to expect so they’re very informative.

You got a knee.... that changes everything
You're a 100% right, and I'd never argue otherwise. :)

My prostatic guy said salt water will ruin a prosthetic first time.
