Reform Prosthetics- Case Study All Pro

[@GlassWolfLH]

Thank you for this. I'm on my first foot now (Ossur Balance Foot S Torsion) and looking at moving to a K3 foot in a few months, and a bit torn between the Ossur Pro-Flex XC Torsion, and the Fillauer Allpro XTS. My prosthetist likes Ossur, but I'm really leaning toward the Fillauer.

Hey, have you got this foot? im choosing btw proflex xc torsion and this foot too!

[@GlassWolfLH]

@@tenglin3584 Yeah I have the Balance Foot S-Torsion. It's a K2 foot. I believe the Proflex XC Torsion is a K3 foot, and a better foot. My Prosthetist wanted me to move from the balance foot to the Proflex XC, but honestly, I had a couple other options I preferred. I almost went with the Fillauer Allpro XTS, as my K3, but changed my mind and wound up choosing the College Park Soleus.

@@GlassWolfLH Hi, i currently have a K3 foot, the Ottobock Trias, and Im pretty sure XC torsion and the Fillauer Allpro XTS they are both K4 foots!

[@GlassWolfLH]

@@tenglin3584 Nah, both are considered to be K3/K3+. K4 is more like an Ossur or Levitate running blade. Those are K4, and athlete/sport-specific. The BioDapt feet are K3/K4.

@@GlassWolfLHoh, okay! Anyway, I'm getting the all pro next week, hope everything will work out well, how you doing with the college park soleus?

My favorite foot has been the AllPro!

damn! I wanna be an amputee so much

[@salahibozkurt]

Dont desire it. It's not easy as it seen.

[@davefox1553]

Really weird, and as an amputee, pretty offensive

No, you don't. All of this tech is just in an attempt to do a fraction of what your own feet can already do naturally, and the tech still only does a half-ass job of it, and costs tens of thousands of dollarrs for ONE foot, and you typically need a different foot for nearly every activity you do, from walking, to running distance, to sprinting, to surfing, to biking, to skiing, to climbing, etc.. all different feet, and each one is thousands of dollars.. The BioAdapt feet alone cost as much as a new car, and are used for snowboarding, biking, and weight lifting, for example. Then you need the socket, liners, socks, etc, and possibly a QR adapter to change feet without changing sockets. Most insurances won't pay for a lot of this, too.
